Food and Agriculture
Committee

The OECD is a global leader of statistics, forecasts, and evidence–based policy recommendations in the area of food and agriculture. Its annual publications, including Monitoring and Evaluating Agricultural Policies and the OECD–FAO Agricultural Outlook, are closely followed by policymakers and industry. The OECD’s policy work contributes to bettering food systems in pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals. The OECD contributes actively to the G20, including on the Agricultural Market Information System.

Our Food and Agriculture Committee contributed to OECD work on sustainable agriculture, trade and agriculture, energy efficiency in the agri-food chain, global agri-food system transformation, and agricultural innovation. The Food and Agriculture Committee also works with the Health Committee on nutrition and obesity, and with the Environment and Energy Committee on sustainable farming practices. Through our Peace for Food campaign, we provide pro-active input to OECD agriculture discussions, highlighting the role of the private sector as a partner and solutions provider.
