About the Food and Agriculture Pavilion

CGIAR, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and The Rockefeller Foundation are collaborating to show how agrifood systems are part of the solution to the climate crisis under the first ever pavilion at the UN Conference of Parties dedicated to food and agriculture.
