**Organizational Setting**

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) contributes to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda through the FAO Strategic Framework by supporting the transformation to MORE efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems, for better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life, leaving no one behind.

The Office of Sustainable Development Goals (OSG) coordinates FAO’s response to accelerating the 2030 Agenda through the sustainable transformation of agrifood systems, working closely with relevant units across the Organization. The Office supports countries and stakeholders to increase their capacity to implement the SDGs by i) Capitalizing on FAO's multidimensional technical expertise, information and knowledge; ii) Identifying innovative methods for prototyping and scaling up programmes and interventions for SDG acceleration; iii) Communicating the Organization’s key messages on SDGs and agrifood systems with a focus on collaboration and transformative partnerships.

In the face of challenges such as rapid population growth, economic downturns, extreme climates and changing consumption patterns, our food systems are under immense pressure and current projections reveal the world is not on a track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Alternative approaches and innovative solutions are urgently needed to effect sustained and impactful change in our global agrifood systems and accelerate progress to realize the 2030 Agenda, including advancing food security, nutrition, decent employment, gender equality and women’s empowerment, social and economic inclusion, climate change adaptation and environmental sustainability. The development and deployment of innovative tools and approaches around the world will be thus crucial to making our food systems more sustainable. The innovations must ensure that incomes are generated and that jobs are created in order to be economically sustainable. Including poor and vulnerable communities and reducing hunger and malnutrition are essential for social sustainability. In order to be environmentally sustainable, they must help protect water, soil, and air quality, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as food loss and waste. Mobilizing private businesses and nurturing business models which integrate SDG based considerations, is a key area of intervention to achieve this.

One of the workstreams of OSG is focusing on developing SDGs acceleration and integration portfolios through which to foster and scale up innovate solutions for the SDG-based transformation of our global agrifood systems. The portfolios aim to identify and test solutions to address challenges in achieving specific SDGs. They provide support and source funding for these initiatives, to promote experimentation and to encourage the development of the innovative solutions needed to transform global agrifood systems and accelerate progress towards the SDGs.

FAO promotes and supports preparation of the Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) and Voluntary Local Reviews (VLRs) and the localization of the SDGs by promoting the role of local authorities and communities as catalysts of local change through the SDG framework to facilitate transformation towards sustainable development at the local levels, thus contributing to the attainment of the SDGs at the national level. FAO supports this work by providing technical and analytical support to its Members with the objective to support evidence
- and science-based review and subsequent policy-making with regard to future policies, actions and investments; promote integrated assessment, analysis, and discussion of agrifood systems transformation; fa
