GO05 - Food Safety and Trade Facilitation for Agrifood Systems Transformation.
The GO05: Food Safety and Trade Facilitation for Agrifood Systems Transformation is a prominent, high-level global session hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) as part of the 2026 World Food Forum (WFF) Flagship Event. This strategic event highlights how aligning health regulations with smooth cross-border commerce serves as a core engine for transforming agrifood systems.
Focus Areas of the GO05 Framework
µFood Safety as a Foundation: Rather than treating food safety simply as an industry metric, the framework establishes it as the baseline for agrifood systems transformation. It underpins better nutrition, consumer protection, and public health outcomes.
Trade as a Food Security Buffer: Well-functioning trade networks function as vital economic buffers against domestic food shortages driven by extreme weather, supply chain shocks, and crop failures.
Harmonising Regulated Systems: Minimising non-tariff barriers by harmonising food safety standards across borders allows safer food to move efficiently from producers to consumers globally.
Shifting from Silos to Synergies: The event promotes moving past fragmented, localized initiatives toward comprehensive systems-level action. This integrates governments, smallholder farmers, and the private sector into a unified global framework.
