 In May in Łódź in Poland, members of the FAO from Europe and Central Asia countries will meet within the framework of the FAO Regional Conference for Europe to discuss the key topics relevant in 2022 and beyond to support its members in these challenging times. The recent armed conflict in our region has caused immense damage. And loss of life and livelihoods in key population centres. It is clear that this will have multiple implications on global markets and food security. Members will also discuss means to transform agri-food systems to more sustainable, resilient and inclusive systems on one end and nutritious healthy diets on the other hand. Additionally, members will provide their inputs and directions to FAO regarding its priority areas of work both in the short as well as the medium term ensuring that both youth and women are fully engaged in executing its programs.
