http:/www.fao.org/asiapacific/perspectives/digital-villages/en/Creating momentum towards the achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)is a task that requires the concerted collaboration and commitment of all.Making our agri-food systems MORE efficient,inclusive,resilient and sustainable is key to reaching the SDGs.Agri-food systems are the worlds largest economic sector in terms of employment,livelihoods and planetary impact,but they are in dire need of transformative change to address the challenges of food security and nutrition,inclusive growth and the sustainable management of natural resources.Transforming the agri-food sector can improve the lives of all,in a wide range of key areas economic,social and environmental.Rural e-commerce can be an important driver of this process of revitalization,by integrating and connecting rural populations and agricultural activities with urban markets and consumers.This requires the availability of electronic and mobile platforms,as well as basic infrastructure,such as electrification,internet access roads and warehouses to support value chains.Shaping such conditions can be achieved through public-private partnerships,with governments providing policy,strategic guidance and support to ensure an enabling environment,and the private sector supporting the development of new business models that provide rural entrepreneurs with opportunities for growth.This report,produced by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations(FAO)and Zhejiang University,explores the role of rural e-commerce in transforming the agri-food systems in China,through the development of an innovative ecosystem that has led to market integration for agricultural producers and rural populations.The impact has been improved incomes and reduced poverty for a wide range of actors.The report identifies the policies and incentives developed to foster rural e-commerce,as well as the public-private partnerships that have helped to advance it in rural areas and to create new business models for rural entrepreneurs in China.The report also discusses the challenges encountered,lessons learned and proposals for the way forward.This publication also marks a step on the pathway towards the FAO-led International Platform for Digital Food and Agriculture1,the 1000 Digital Villages Initiative;2 and advocates for stronger South-South and Triangular Cooperation.We hope that this report will contribute to improved methodologies,approaches and solutions to accelerate inclusive and sustainable development in rural communities for better production,better nutrition,a better environment,and a better life,leaving no one behind.Qu DongyuDirector-GeneralFood and Agriculture Organization of the United

accelerate inclusive and sustainable development in rural communities by creating new jobs and income-generating opportunities and improved services for rural dwellers.In various parts of the world in both developed and developing countries and in both urban and rural settings e-commerce is playing a significant role in driving consumption,employment,entrepreneurship and poverty alleviation.The process of buying and/or selling products or services through electronic/digital platforms,e-commerce has accelerated rapidly in recent years,as sellers discover a more efficient,lower-cost method of moving their goods and services,and consumers are attracted by the greater choice,convenience and price competition that it offers.Nowhere is this trend more acute than in China,which is leading the world in e-commerce,currently accounting for more than 42 percent of global e-commerce transactions,compared with 1 percent just 10 years ago and representing an annual growth rate of 50 percent since 2011(Smith,2018).In a country with a deliberate policy of pursuing e-commerce as an engine of growth,particularly in rural areas,the Chinese experience has shown that digital technology through public-private partnerships can promote inclu
