Food and Agriculture Committee

The OECD is a global leader of statistics, forecasts, and evidence–based policy recommendations in creating sustainable, productive and resilient food systems. Its annual publications, including Monitoring and Evaluating Agricultural Policies and the OECD–FAO Agricultural Outlook, are closely followed by policymakers and industry. The OECD promotes innovation, efficiency and environmental stewardship in farming practices, addressing food security, climate change and rural development. The OECD contributes actively to the G20, including on the Agricultural Market Information System.
