During the 2024 Session, delegates will discuss a broad range of topics pertinent to the COAG mandate. These will include the outcomes of the 2nd Session of the COAG Sub-Committee on Livestock, the One Health approach, sustainable management of plastics in agriculture, land and water resources, bioeconomy, agriculture and forestry linkages, the status of women in agrifood systems, the nutrition, climate change, biodiversity and food security nexus, the potential of neglected and underutilized species, as well as the improving the uptake of technologies and innovations for agrifood system transformation. Additionally, the Agenda will address other relevant topics brought forward from the previous COAG Session and other Governing Bodies.

As FAO’s main technical advisory committee on agriculture, COAG will review the central role of food and agriculture for achieving the SDGs and will provide a platform for exchange and dialogue amongst participants and give strategic direction for the work of FAO in the agrifood sectors to promote the transformation of agrifood systems to be more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable.
