The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)  launched in the Europe and Central Asia region the Global Action on Green Development of Special Agricultural Products: One Country One Priority Product. This global initiative aims to make agrifood systems more efficient, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable.

Introduced by FAO’s Director-General in September 2021, One Country One Priority Product focuses on greening and promoting sustainable value chains of special agricultural products – local products with a special value that have not been mainstreamed in agricultural research and development. The FAO initiative brings them to the fore and accelerates their contribution towards improved food security, nutrition, and livelihoods.
