The FAO Subregional Office for Southern Africa (SFS) hosts Annual Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meetings to bring together experts and stakeholders to develop integrated solutions for transforming agrifood systems. The region, covering 15 SADC countries, faces challenges like climate change, water scarcity, and socio-economic vulnerabilities that impact agricultural productivity and food security.

The focus will be on fostering collaboration, sharing innovative solutions, and shaping strategic priorities to build resilient agrifood systems.
