The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has begun to brainstorm to ensure the promotion of Responsible Agricultural Investment (RAI) and sustainable food systems among Liberia's lawmakers. The gathering was intended to enhance the legislative branch's understanding of responsible agricultural investments and their critical role in Liberia's sustainable development. The FAO emphasizes that responsible investment in agriculture should align with the Committee on World Food Security's Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems, ensuring that it benefits communities and promotes long-term development. In support of lawmakers' efforts to promote responsible investment, FAO, in collaboration with the International Institute for Sustainable Development, has published the Practical Handbook on Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems. The workshop marks a critical step toward fostering a legislative environment that supports responsible agricultural investment.
