Sector Commitments and Challenges

The Agri-food sector is facing a wide range of challenges with significant environmental, social and economic impacts.

In a global context marked by numerous crises from the COVID-19 pandemic to climate change to economic shocks and rising inequalities several areas such as food security, sustainable agriculture and nutrition are experiencing a lockdown in sustainable development.

To make agri-food systems more resilient to shocks and stresses, addressing these challenges is crucial. According to the FAO report, automation in agri-food systems can help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Without technological progress and increased productivity, lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition is an insurmountable task. It is essential to ensure that the automation of production processes takes place in an inclusive, responsible and sustainable way.

Climate change affects many sectors and agriculture is among the most vulnerable. In fact, there is a close correlation between agriculture and climate: the agricultural sector generates climate risks and, at the same time, strongly suffers from the impacts of climate change. Rising temperatures and higher concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are compromising crop yields and crop quality in many areas of the world. 

The availability of water resources and the proliferation of plant pests are also affected by climate change, which has repercussions on agricultural production. In addition, geographical variations in cultivation patterns are radically changing planting and harvesting strategies. Actions have been launched to transfer knowledge and skills to suppliers and farmers, promoting good  sustainability practices and a responsible use of natural resources, enhancing biodiversity to counteract the negative effects on crops. 

Sustainable Development Goals

In defining our actions and strategies, we have also considered the guiding principles of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), complementing their guidelines to promote sustainable, equitable and resilient food systems.

FAO’s Strategic Framework 2022-31 aims to support the 2030 Agenda through the transformation towards MORE efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agri-food systems for better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life, leaving no one behind.
