UPDATE In November 2020, 352 civil society and Indigenous Peoples organisations, as well as hundreds of academics, sent a letter of deep concern to Qu Dongyu, Director General of the FAO, urging him to reconsider the alliance with CropLife International. Yesterday (25th February 2021), a coalition of the original organisers of the letter, sent a formal request to meet with Qu Dongyu to ask once again that FAO's partnership with CropLife be abandoned and that an integrated policy be developed to prevent conflict of interests to ensure that corporate 'solutions' are not influencing the FAO's work on sustainability, further threatening biodivesity, human health and food sovereignty.
