Collaboration agreement with FESBAL for the renovation of its distribution infrastructure
In April 2023, the Amancio Ortega Foundation and the Spanish Federation of Food Banks (FESBAL) reached an agreement to consolidate the social entity's infrastructure in the face of the new socioeconomic challenges posed by rising inflation.
Thanks to the collaboration between the entities, FESBAL will renew its fleet of delivery vehicles, update the necessary means for better food storage in the 54 partner banks and support the acquisition of basic foods to serve the largest possible number of beneficiaries.
The food and agricultural sectors offer key solutions for development and are vital to eliminating hunger and poverty. Properly managed, agriculture, forestry and aquaculture can provide nutritious food for the entire planet, as well as decent incomes, supporting people-centred development in rural areas and protecting the environment.
Ensuring healthy lives and promoting universal well-being are central to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
A robust economy has long been recognised as one that requires investments in infrastructure (transport, irrigation, energy, information and communications technology). These are essential for achieving sustainable development, empowering societies in many countries, fostering increased social stability and making cities more resilient to climate change.
