The integrated and transformative nature of the 2030 Agenda requires the appropriate policy environment, that factors in, empowers and operationalizes intersectoral linkages and cross-sectoral collaboration.
The success of transforming Food and Agriculture to achieve SDGs also depends upon “the fundamental premise” of the effective and transparent institutional cooperation across government, innovative public-private partnerships, empowering smallscale farmers. Against this background FAO has published the guidelines, directed to the governmental bodies and agencies responsible for integrating the interconnected SDGs and targetsinto national law and practice. 20 actions, articulated by FAO view social, environmental and economic dimention of food and agriculture as one.
The document compliments the process outlined in the UNDG Reference guide on Mainstreaming the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which focuses on SDG work at national level.
