The challenges to ensure food and nutrition security for all in today’s world are complex and intertwined with a broad range of political, financial, environmental, technological and social issues. To address these challenges will require an integrated and holistic approach to agri-food chain, so that measures in one place do not have negative externalities somewhere else on the planet.
This event will provide you an opportunity to assess alternative business models and technologies supporting strategies to redesign our production and consumption patterns. We aim to bring together experts from industry, government, academia and non governmental agencies to examine the varied and complex challenges and opportunities presented by the contemporary world.

3. To promote transmission of expertise and experience as well as networking between practitioners, academics, policy makers.
4. Deliver locally and globally relevant priorities, commitments, concrete proposals and recommendations.
