Sdg Agrifood Accelerator Programme Launched.

February 22, 2023

The Programme has been launched by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and SEED.
SDG Agrifood Accelerator Programme is designed to help agrifood system start-ups develop their businesses while contributing to UN’s SDGs.
Programme acknowledges that all 17 SDGs are interconnected and addresses challenges across a broad range of goals, from no poverty and zero hunger to good health, gender equality and climate action.
Operating across Africa and Asia, 12 SMEs who joined the Programme will be supported in three areas: financial readiness, innovation potential, and market reach.
The kind of help they will receive includes assistance in the development of business, marketing or investment plans, how to approach potential financiers or on how to go digital.
SEED is a global partnership for action on sustainable development and green economy.
- It was founded by UN Environment Programme (UNEP), UN Development Programme (UNDP) and International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg.
