FAO champions multistakeholder partnerships to build sustainable food and agriculture systems, addressing hunger, climate change, and rural poverty. The World Banana Forum (WBF) exemplifies this, showcasing the banana sector as a global model for inclusive, climate-smart value chains. This collaboration among producers, governments, and retailers advances sustainability, fairness, and resilience through initiatives like living wages and responsible purchasing.

This event aims to raise awareness of partnerships' role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and promote the WBF as a replicable model for other agricultural sectors. For more information, visit the FAO Partnerships page and the World Banana Forum.
