FAO-oriGIn Series of Webinars on “Contributing to SDGs through quality linked to geographical origin”
FAO and the organization for an international GI network – oriGIn- are organizing with experts and practitioners thematic discussions to address key aspects on how GI can maximize their contribution to sustainability.
The key objectives of the webinars are:
- Raise awareness among GI agricultural associations and value chain actors on promoting sustainability.
- 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.
- Identify technical assistance needs, in particular in developing countries, and raise funds for relevant projects.
- Develop tailored recommendations for public and private stakeholders, and in particular for the implementation of the FAO-oriGIn sustainable strategy for geographical indication (SSGIs).
The fifth webinar of the series is « Indigenous peoples, local communities and traditional knowledge » (in English and French), in collaboration with World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
