As the Joint FAO/IAEA Centre marks its 60th anniversary, it reflects on a legacy of innovation and collaboration that underscores the critical role of science and international cooperation in tackling global challenges in agrifood systems transformation. The Joint FAO/IAEA Centre is dedicated to developing solutions to promote access to nutritious and safe food for a growing population while minimizing agriculture’s environmental impacts and addressing climate change threats.
To help boost global food production and food and nutrition, the IAEA and FAO launched the Atoms4Food initiative in 2023 during the World Food Forum. It offers tailor-made approaches in food and agriculture. The initiative supports countries in using innovative nuclear techniques to enhance agricultural productivity, increase the resilience of agrifood systems, enhance food production, improve food safety, and the challenges of climate change.
The Joint FAO/IAEA Centre will continue to drive innovation and deliver tangible solutions to the ever-changing agricultural challenges facing our world by fostering research for development, enhancing capacity development and knowledge sharing, and strengthening partnerships.
