Agrifood systems have the power to sustain life on Earth. They tie together the people, activities, investments, and choices involved in producing and delivering food and agricultural goods. Agrifood systems include everything from how food is grown, harvested, processed, packaged, transported, distributed, traded, bought, prepared, eaten, and eventually disposed of. They also include non-food agricultural products such as forestry, feedstock, biomass for biofuels, and fibres. Learn more about FAO's definition of agrifood systems.
