    FAO calls for additional funding from the private sector and bridging the investment gap to achieve sustainable development


    FAO) Deputy Director General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Daniel Gustafson, said today that the eradication of hunger, malnutrition and sustainable development requires the strengthening of global partnerships and sustainable investments to drive economic growth.
    At the opening ceremony of the International Development Cooperation Exhibition EXCO2019 in Rome, which this year focuses on job creation and innovation to support sustainable development, the Deputy Director General said that achieving sustainable development goals requires more resources than currently available, but progress towards more sustainable food systems offers opportunities Tremendous investment for new profitable.
    "Countries should attract more funding from the public and private sectors by making sustainable investments to drive economic growth as an essential element of poverty reduction," said Gustavson.
    This is in line with the promise made by the international community to achieve the seventeenth goal of sustainable development, which calls for strengthening global partnerships to support and achieve the goals of the sustainable development agenda 2030 through cooperation between national governments, the international community, civil society and the private sector.
    "The bulk of investment in agriculture comes from farmers," Gustavson said.Farmers, their decisions and their ability to invest must be essential elements of any strategy to expand investment in this sector. There are more than 570 million farms in the world, more than 90 per cent of which are run by an individual or family and depend primarily on family work. However, smallholder agriculture, particularly in rainfed areas, is characterized by high-risk and low-yielding activity that does not attract private investment easily. "
    He pointed out that innovation is necessary across all diets. Equally important, investing in innovation in the diet can pay off very well in job creation when looking at the full value chain, from production to the end consumer.
    At the same time, the value of jobs in the implementation of sustainable food-related goals, given the value chain, could reach $ 2.3 trillion for the private sector by 2030.
    For this reason, FAO supports the creation of appropriate environments to promote investments consistent with sustainable development goals through the CFS Principles on Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems, which provide investment assurance guidance in farming and food systems for local food security and labor rights.
    FAO is strongly committed to cooperating with all actors, including the private sector
    Over the past eight years, FAO has been partnering with more than 150 actors from the private sector, civil society and research and academic institutions, resulting in a significant improvement in FAO's work in the field and the consolidation of its expertise.
    In addition, FAO resource partners provide both financial support and exchange of information under the recently renewed South-South Cooperation and Cooperation Office.
