The Global Agriculture Cities Program (GACP) is one of the strategic programs proposed under the Global Food Security Initiative 2050. It is designed to support countries seeking to develop integrated agricultural ecosystems that strengthen food security, stimulate economic development, and enhance agricultural productivity in accordance with each country's national priorities and development objectives.
The Program is based on the concept of developing integrated agricultural cities or zones that combine crop production, livestock development, food processing industries, logistics infrastructure, renewable energy, and modern agricultural technologies within a unified ecosystem that creates value across the entire food value chain.
Recognizing that every country has unique resources, opportunities, and priorities, the Program is designed as a flexible framework that can be adapted to local conditions rather than applying a single standardized model.
