The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations with a unique mandate to promote, dynamize and accelerate industrial development.
UNIDO’s vision is a world without poverty and hunger, where industry drives low-emission economies, improves living standards, and preserves the livable environment for present and future generations, leaving no one behind.
UNIDO provides support to its 172 Member States through four mandated functions: technical cooperation; action-oriented research and policy-advisory services; normative standards-related activities; and fostering partnerships for knowledge and technology transfer.
Three major priorities for action:
- Supporting sustainable supply chains so that developing country producers get a fair deal and scarce resources are preserved.
- Limiting climate breakdown by using renewable energy and energy efficiency to reduce industrial greenhouse gas emissions.
- Ending hunger by cutting post-harvest losses and developing agribusiness value chains.
Las tecnologías de envasado y procesado de alimentos pueden aumentar el suministro de alimentos y garantizar la seguridad alimentaria. También son la base para el desarrollo de un próspero comercio de exportación de alimentos.
