Programme details
Together, the three United Nations Rome-based Agencies (RBAs)—the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and the World Food Programme (WFP)—have joined forces to present a dynamic exhibition focused on inclusive agrifood systems.
This joint initiative highlights the agencies’ shared commitment to promoting food security, sustainable agriculture, and improved nutrition worldwide. The exhibition illustrates how inclusive agrifood systems are essential to addressing global hunger and malnutrition, while also empowering smallholder farmers, Indigenous Peoples, women, and youth.
A key feature is the role of the three agencies' integrated approaches, such as school meal programmes, which connect local agriculture to nutrition outcomes, providing children with access to healthy meals while supporting local economies and farming communities. Visitors are invited to explore how innovation, investment, and cooperation can drive transformation in food systems from farm to fork.
The exhibition also reflects the power of multilateralism and coordinated action, as the RBAs work hand in hand with countries, communities, and partners to ensure that no one is left behind. Through engaging visuals and examples from the field, this collaborative display invites reflection and action, showing that building resilient, inclusive food systems is not only possible it is essential for a better future for people and the planet.
Reports
【Reflection】
For this exhibition, three Rome Based Agencies (RBAs) —the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and the World Food Programme (WFP)— joined forces to present a dynamic exhibition focused on inclusive agrifood systems, particularly through examples such as school meal programmes.
It highlighted the agencies’ shared commitment to promoting food security, sustainable agriculture, and improved nutrition worldwide, and achieving SDG Goal2 “Zero Hunger”.
The exhibition effectively used visuals and concrete field examples and attracted interest from the visitors of the Pavilion and provided a great opportunity to showcase the work of the three agencies to a wide range of audiences.
We also learned that there is a strong interest among the Japanese public in working in the UN system.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
The exhibition highlighted how innovation, investment, and cooperation can drive transformation in agrifood systems from farm to fork.
Through the power of multilateralism and coordinated action, the three agencies will strive to continue working hand in hand with countries, communities, and partners to ensure that no one is left behind, to aim for a better future for the people and the planet. We will leverage this momentum to continue promoting UN’s work for Zero Hunger, in Japan and the world.
