ACES: Innovation E-Dialogue Series
The EBRD-FAO Agrifood Sustainability and Innovation E-Dialogue Series, part of the ACES programme, promotes greener, resilient agrifood systems through innovation, investment and partnerships. It fosters dialogue on emerging technologies, sustainable value chains and financing models to scale climate-smart solutions. The series connects diverse stakeholders – investors, researchers, technology developers and policymakers – to advance innovations that reduce emissions, enhance resource efficiency and strengthen climate resilience of agrifood systems.
Defining the path towards climate-efficient agrifood system infrastructure
This EBRD and FAO project focuses on the need for a new generation of infrastructure to serve agrifood systems that supports progress towards improved economic and financial efficiency, climate resilience, lower stress on natural resources and reduced emissions over their lifecycle.
Carbon Neutrality: Utopia or The New Green Wave?
The EBRD and FAO have embarked on a comprehensive study to assess trends, challenges and opportunities for decarbonizing agrifood systems and help countries achieve multiple Sustainable Development Goals.
A Digital Transition to Safer Food Systems through e-phyto certificates
As digital innovations bring new opportunities for many countries to trade safely and efficiently across international borders, the EBRD and FAO are providing the support they need to leave the paper trail behind.

The EBRD and FAO have visited seven cities as part of a project to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has shaped how fresh foods are distributed and bought, paving the way for food systems that are more flexible and resilient.
Reimagining the Future of Food for the Cities
As the world’s urban population is set to increase to almost 70 percent by 2050, the EBRD and FAO look to more than 250 companies in over 85 countries to understand the new wave of commercial urban farming to guide investments that link technology and innovation with food, nature and people.
