HAPPENING NowMaximo Torero Cullen, Chief Economist, Food and Agriculture Organization, on the high cost of a healthy diet and what to expect from the upcoming State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) Report 2026, to be launched on 21 July in Rome @FAO @MaximoTorero @UNWebTV

[Maximo Torero @MaximoTorero]

A healthy diet costs 25% more than it did 5 years ago. 1/3 of global population can't afford it. The cost of a healthy diet shows where agrifood systems investments can have the greatest impact. Watch the highlights before the launch on 12 July: https://t.co/w5l2PkPdav

[SDG2AdvocacyHub @SDG2AdvocacyHub]

🟡FAO’s @MaximoTorero says the cost of a healthy diet is tied to production & productivity, with 70–75% of what we pay for food coming after it leaves the farm.

@FAO @FAOSocioEcon @FAOSDGs @FAO4Members @FAOstatistics @UNDESA @UNECOSOC @SustDev During @FAO's #HLPF Special Event on the upcoming #SOFI2026 report, @MaximoTorero underlined the role of better roads, better logistics, and lower energy costs on reducing cost of a healthy diet. Improving storage, processing, transport & balances is key.

Women make up 42% of the global agrifood workforce but face unequal access to land, credit, technology and opportunities. The new @FAOstatistics Gender in Agrifood Systems domain provides data to make women's contribution visible: https://t.co/y4ilSiDTBp

Global food markets recover quickly from shocks but resulting food price spikes threaten food security. Countries can build resilience by integrating into global markets and diversifying trade connections.

AI and digital technologies can transform agrifood systems, producing more food with fewer resources. But innovation succeeds only if it reaches everyone. Inclusion, governance, and investment will decide whether this revolution narrows inequality or deepens it. (Graph: WDR 2019)

At @FAO Global Conference on Smart Farming, FAO Chief Economist @MaximoTorero reminded us that smart farming must be inclusive by design. Empowering youth and women is essential to ensuring innovation delivers lasting change across agrifood systems.

Agriculture's future growth will come from greater efficiency, not higher prices. That means productivity must also be resilient -- through better data, smarter diagnostics, precision agriculture & resilient trade systems. #AgOutlook
