Global Conference on Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization (GAMC) Call to Action
The Global Conference on Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization (GAMC) with the theme “Innovation, Efficiency, and Resilience” was convened at Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) headquarters in Rome from 27 to 29 September 2023.
The GAMC had over 8500 online registrations and over 300 attendees in person. 50 FAO members registered for the event. Most registrations came from Africa (39 percent); the second largest group was Asia-Pacific (29 percent). The discussions highlight the contributions and benefits stemming from the sustainable development of agricultural mechanization, showcasing current and emerging technological developments and related business models, supply chain aspects, agricultural machinery standards, and the overall enabling environment for sustainable agricultural mechanization.
Deliberations were organized in seven thematic sessions across the three-day event, and the event developed call-to-action points in line with the implementation of the FAO Strategic Framework 2022-31 and contributed to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
