As of today, while speaking ahead of the opening ceremony of the regional workshop for Europe and Central Asia on sustainable food and agriculture for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement (hosted by the NASB today), Chairman of the Presidium of the Belarus National Academy of Sciences (NASB) Vladimir Gusakov told Belarus and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations have plans to cooperate in promoting scientific research and improving food quality control, Belarus Radio reports referring to BelTA.
«Belarus ensured food security and sustainable development of rural areas within a short period of time. Today up to 30% of our food output is sold abroad, and a task has been set to raise the figure to 50%. It is not by chance that the regional workshop is held in our country. Many countries could learn from Belarus’ example how to ensure food security. We have agreed with FAO to implement a project in the field of scientific research, improvement of the diet, food quality and availability, and access to food. We will possibly organize another workshop on children’s nutrition and school meals,» Gusakov said.
