Review of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) Strategic Priorities on Food Safety 2023

The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) endorsed its strategic framework for the period 2022–2031 during the 42nd session of the FAO conference held on 18 June 2021. The new framework for the period 2022–2031 seeks to support the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development through the transformation of agri-food systems in line with the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The FAO strategic framework 2022–2031 was developed in the context of significant global and regional challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In developing the strategic framework, the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) outlined Programme priority areas (PPAs) that describe how FAO’s work on food safety will contribute to the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development in alignment with FAO’s strategic framework 2022–2031. The strategic priorities are, in turn, organised into four strategic outcomes, which are interconnected and interdependent to achieve FAO’s vision of ‛safe food for all people at all times’
