About FAO Liaison Office in Geneva & World Food Photo Contest 2023
In our current agrifood system, some methods of production, processing, and consumption contribute to climate change. Deforestation, intensive farming practices or excessive use of natural resources all play a role. However, adopting sustainable agricultural practices can make a positive impact and provide a solution to slow down climate change.
Sustainable farming methods such as promoting biodiversity, protecting natural resources, climate-smart agriculture, or reducing food waste can significantly reduce our environmental footprint. By transforming our agrifood systems to be more sustainable, we can feed the growing population while mitigating climate change and ensuring a healthier planet for future generations.
Program Details
In line with these efforts, the FAO Liaison Office in Geneva is pleased to announce the launch of its first Photo Contest. Celebrating the 2023 World Food Forum (WFF) – an independent, youth-led global network of partners facilitated and hosted by FAO to engage young people in the transformation of agrifood systems – the contest presents an exciting opportunity for youth to showcase their talent and present what sustainable agrifood systems and climate action mean for them through visual storytelling.

- Capture the theme of the WFF this year – “agrifood systems transformation accelerates climate action”.
