Business arm of G20 reestablishes Sustainable Food Systems and Agriculture task force led by JBS CEO.

In seeking to improve food systems, countries will face challenges in eradicating hunger, increasing productivity, enhancing the lives of those involved in production processes, promoting sustainability, and making food accessible. To achieve all this, it will be necessary to confront the challenge of trade barriers, which raise food prices in some regions of the world, pointed out JBS Global CEO, Gilberto Tomazoni.

These points were brought up in Mr. Tomazoni’s address as head of the Sustainable Food Systems and Agriculture task force at the launch of B20 Brazil – the business arm of the G20. Mr. Tomazoni said that the task force he coordinates aims to consider international trade with fair practices as a mechanism for inclusive food systems and as an incentive for producers to adopt modern and sustainable technologies.

Mr. Tomazoni expressed full support for tackling hunger as the main priority of Brazil’s G20 Presidency this year and for the creation of the Global Alliance around the theme. The CEO of JBS, one of the world’s largest food companies, leads one of the eight task forces defined by the B20, which connects the business community with the governments of the group that brings together the world’s largest economies, the G20.
