Policies for Effective Rural Transformation, Agricultural and Food System Transition

Experiences of multi sectoral policy approaches to promote rural transformation, inclusive agricultural transition and economic growth, across sectors and developing regions will be discussed during an event taking place at FAO headquarters on 17 October from 13:00 to 14:30 CEST.

The structural transformation of economies is a clear pathway out of poverty and hunger when the

process is characterized by inclusive productivity growth in both agricultural and non-agricultural sectors

and by strong linkages between sectors and urban and rural areas.
