المنتدى العالمي المعني بالأمن الغذائي والتغذية

Virtual event, 28/05/2020 - 28/05/2020

As countries ease lockdown measures, a new set of challenges emerges for food production, processing, and logistics of supply chains. Some of these can provide opportunity for growth, given that policy-makers and value chain actors play their part. To mitigate COVID-19 impacts and to open new opportunities, countries need practical solutions on a range of issues including food supply, food and nutrition security, trade and markets.

The FAO webinar entitled “Lifting lockdowns – what next for food systems?” should serve as a platform for information sharing among countries and partners to address impacts of COVID-19 and challenges in the food and agriculture sector of Europe and Central Asia.
