? Webinar Series Launch | "Advancing the Transition to a Pollution-Free Agrifood Industry through Circular, Regenerative, and Bioeconomy Approaches"

This opening session on Tuesday May 6th, 2025 brings together experts from UN agencies and academia to explore how circularity, regenerative practices, and the bioeconomy approaches can support more sustainable agricultural value-chains.

The session will:
? Provide an understanding of how circular, regenerative and bioeconomy approaches can advance a transition to a pollution-free agrifood industry,
? Showcase how these approaches align with sustainable consumption and production patterns,
? Present policy experiences and actions from countries that are advancing circularity,
? Emphasize the importance of an inclusive and just transition.

The conversation builds on the momentum of UNEA-6 Resolution 1, which recognizes the potential of sustainably managed agro-industries—such as sugarcane—to contribute to climate mitigation, biodiversity protection, and pollution reduction.

Seeking Suggestions!

Sustainability has led to the emergence of many new professions across industries. Can you suggest some name of professions that have evolved due to sustainability challenges and initiatives?

The global food sector is under immense pressure—from climate change-induced harvest disruptions to conflicts and supply chain shocks driving hunger and malnutrition. But change is happening. With support from the World Bank Group, a diverse group of farmers, agronomists, investors, and innovators are pioneering game-changing solutions to build a more resilient and sustainable food system. From reducing emissions and deforestation to securing food supplies and empowering smallholder farmers, these efforts are shaping a new, climate-smart food economy.

? What innovative solutions have you seen or implemented to make food systems more sustainable?

Did you know that ????? ??? ?????? ??????????? (????) ??? ????? ??? ?????? ???? ??????—yet they are on the frontlines of climate change? Extreme weather, supply chain disruptions, and resource scarcity are just a few of the challenges they face. But with innovation, adaptation, and sustainable practices, SMEs can turn these risks into opportunities!

In this Q&A, we break down how SMEs can contribute to transforming food systems—from regenerative farming to cutting-edge green tech.

The 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda commits to leaving no one behind, but achieving this goal requires a deeper understanding of food insecurity across different communities.

Sharing this interactive story from FAO that can help us understand food insecurity in the context of gender and urbanisation. FAO data sheds light on who is most affected—whether in rural, peri-urban, or urban areas—and highlights key differences between men and women. These insights are crucial for shaping policies and programs that drive real impact.

We’d love to hear from you! How does food insecurity manifest in your region or field of work? What challenges or solutions have you observed?
