Recent sessions of FAO Governing Bodies have put a strong focus on science, technology and innovation and Members are increasingly requesting FAO’s support to harness science and innovation. The FAO Science and Innovation Strategy (the Strategy) was adopted by the FAO Council at its 170th Session following an inclusive and transparent consultative process, with the participation of all Members through formal sessions of Governing Bodies (including the Regional Conferences in 2022), as well as two informal consultations and informal meetings with Regional Groups.
Agrifood system transformation to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals requires increased attention to developing, adapting and diffusing impactful science, technology and innovation (STI). Current levels and patterns of STI uptake are inadequate to facilitate needed agrifood system transformations, especially in today's low- and middle-income countries.
La ganadería extractiva tradicional debe migrar a modelos sostenibles, sustentables y amigables con el ambiente, como los sistemas silvopastoriles. En estos se mezcla la producción de pasturas mejoradas, arbustos y árboles como fuentes de alimento y confort para los animales. La implementación y mantenimiento de estos sistemas requieren de un centro de reproducción y replicación de plantas para la reforestación y, por ello, el vivero es el punto de partida del cambio del modelo productivo ganadero tradicional a la ganadería regenerativa.
La innovación es una condición fundamental para un crecimiento económico sostenido, que reduzca las disparidades sociales existentes en el país y permita un uso sustentable de sus recursos naturales.

This transformation began with the diffusion and adoption of high-yielding seed varieties, modern fertilizers, and other agricultural technologies (for example, pesticides, machinery), commonly known as the Green Revolution.
