FAO-oriGIn Series of Webinars on

"Contributing to SDGs through quality linked to
geographical origin"

Quality products that are deeply rooted in a given geographical area play a key role in the economy. They can also contribute to social development and preservation of the local environment. Natural features - as well as tradition and culture, typical of certain geographical environments - have the potential to confer products unique characteristics and reputation, which are valued on the market. Preserving such resources, traditions and qualities through Geographical Indications (GI) can create and preserve values (economic, social, environmental) for millions of producers and consumers.

Keeping in mind that the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the point of reference for any strategy and policy towards a more sustainable future, FAO and the organization for an international GI network - oriGIn- are organizing with experts and practitioners  thematic discussions to address key aspects of how to maximize the contribution of GI to sustainability.

The key objectives of the webinars are:

1.       Raise awareness among GI agricultural associations and value chain actors on promoting sustainability.

2.       Promote the exchange of sustainability best practices undertaken by individual GI value chains and/or by economic sectors at the national/regional level, so to promote dialogue and convergence.

3.       Identify technical assistance needs, in particular in developing countries, and raise funds for relevant projects.

4.       Develop tailored recommendations for public and private stakeholders, and in particular for the implementation of the FAO-oriGIn sustainable strategy for geographical indication (SSGIs).
