FAO Highlights Sustainable Agriculture in Guyana

Agriculture Month 2026 is being observed throughout October, with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) using the national observance to highlight the people, innovation and investment needed to build a stronger and more sustainable food system in Guyana.

This year’s theme, “Innovate, Nourish, Grow: Building a Strong and Sustainable Guyana,” focuses on the transformation of Guyana’s agrifood sector and the growing use of technology, research, mechanisation, precision agriculture and climate-smart practices.

FAO Representative in Guyana, Dr. Gillian Smith, said Agriculture Month provides an opportunity to recognise the contribution of thousands of people who sustain the country’s food systems.
