L'Esposizione universale della FAO "Dal seme al cibo" torna per la sua seconda edizione dal 8 al 12 ottobre 2026 al Circo Massimo di Roma. L'evento, che ha avuto successo lo scorso anno, riunisce espositori da tutto il mondo e offre uno spazio per valorizzare i sistemi agroalimentari. Scopri come i semi e i fattori produttivi si trasformano in alimenti grazie all'innovazione.
La mostra è aperta gratuitamente al pubblico e invita i visitatori a esplorare il processo di coltivazione, trasformazione, preparazione, distribuzione e consumo del cibo, con la possibilità di degustare una varietà di alimenti globali. Maggiori informazioni sono disponibili su FAO.
Una delegación de Lesotho visitó Huancayo, Perú, para explorar el potencial transformador de la papa, en el marco de la iniciativa Un País, Un Producto Prioritario (OCOP) y la Cooperación Sur-Sur de la FAO.

Access to land is crucial for rural women in Rwanda to secure livelihoods and support their families. Despite a legal framework that guarantees equal inheritance rights, cultural beliefs and a lack of awareness often hinder women from claiming these rights.

Before Eid al-Adha, the sale and slaughter of millions of animals in Afghanistan heightens the risk of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF), a serious disease spread by infected ticks. As animals can carry the virus without symptoms and there are no vaccines available, prevention is crucial.
With support from the UK and the World Health Organization, FAO collaborated with Veterinary Field Units in 20 provinces to spray livestock markets, treat animals, and raise awareness among herders and traders. This initiative exemplifies the One Health approach, protecting both human and animal health.
