The digital transition can and must become a tool for accelerating sustainability in agrifood supply chains, helping to make production systems more equitable, inclusive, and resilient. To achieve this goal, it is crucial that businesses adopt a strategic approach to digitalization, consistent with the Objectives of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations and supported by effective public-private partnerships. This is the message shared by UN Global Compact Network Italy and the Permanent Mission of Italy to the United Nations during the side event organized in the margins of the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF), held on July 21 in New York.
