FAO is organizing the Global Conference on Smart Farming: Leveraging data and technology for sustainable agrifood systems from 1 to 3 July 2026 at its headquarters in Rome, and online.

The three-day conference will explore ways of scaling smart farming systems while showcasing practical innovations that promote youth and women’s entrepreneurship, and digital skills. It will also identify priorities for policy, collaboration, and investment to support context-adapted, scalable solutions, particularly for small-scale farmers.

The conference will bring together stakeholders from around the world, including FAO Members, policymakers, development partners, and representatives from the private sector, research and academia, civil society, youth and farmers’ organizations.
