Rome: FAO will be present in force at
the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro
including at a high-level discussion on food security and the environment on 21
June attended by the UN Secretary-General, heads of state and government and
senior UN officials. FAO experts and high level officials will also cover all
sectors of the Rio debate: food, oceans, energy, jobs, water, cities and
disasters. FAO’s message to the Rio process is that without the eradication of
hunger there can be no sustainable development. And since food production will
have to increase by 60 percent by 2050 to feed a projected 9 billion people, we
can expect agriculture to continue to drive sustainable development.
FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva, together with ministers of environment or agriculture, and technical experts from FAO and the other Rome-based agencies will be present at a series of high-level events in Rio.
