Hybrid Event: Register Here

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is organizing the Global Conference on Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization (GAMC) under the theme “Efficiency, Inclusiveness and Resilience”, from 27 to 29 September 2023 as a hybrid virtual/physical meeting at FAO headquarters in Rome.

The GAMC will be an opportunity to raise awareness of how sustainable agricultural mechanization can contribute to achieving better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life. Discussions will focus on sustainable development: increasing production of nutritious food, generating income while protecting the environment, providing decent jobs and creating social equity.

The GAMC will provide a neutral forum for FAO Members, farmers, extensions, opinion leaders, policymakers, scientists and representatives from academia, civil society, NGOs, and private sector representatives for focused dialogues to prioritize actions and strengthen technical networks for sustainable development of agricultural mechanization.

Alongside the conference, an exhibit titled "Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization: Technological Paths to a Better Future" will be hosted at FAO headquarters from 25 to 29 September. The exhibit will feature over 20 exhibitors showcasing precision-technologies, automation and agricultural robots, illustrating the latest advancements in agricultural mechanization and digitalization. These technologies have the potential to be adapted to the specific context and needs of small-scale farmers in developing countries.

FAO Members and all agrifood system stakeholders are welcome to participate.

Simultaneous interpretation will be available in the six official languages of FAO during plenary sessions.
