TunisiaThe UfM, FAO and CIHEAM renew partnership for more sustainable agrifood systems in the Mediterranean
The Union for the Mediterranean (UfM), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM) have reaffirmed their commitment to transforming agrifood systems in the Mediterranean region by renewing their Memorandum of Understanding. Originally signed in 2021, this partnership has already achieved remarkable progress in contributing to agrifood systems transformation efforts in the Mediterranean, and its renewal reaffirms the partners’ shared ambition to drive further progress on the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.
With the upcoming UN Food Systems Summit +4, the partnership aims to enable regional contributions to the global agenda by leveraging its existing platforms and networks. Planned activities include enhancing the continued support to the SFS-MED Platform and its activities, with a focus on multistakeholder collaboration, knowledge generation and shared learning.
FAO’s technical expertise, CIHEAM’s research and capacity-building networks and UfM’s political outreach, converge in the renewed MoU, reflecting a holistic approach to agrifood systems transformation, advancing sustainable production and consumption, improved nutrition, a healthier environment and a better life for all in the Mediterranean.
