Food Security Partnerships, Programs and Policy Solutions: The Ground We Need to Feed

17:0017:45

This session will focus on the partnerships that drive sustainable and productive agriculture programs with tangible outcomes for our current and future food security. As the public and private sectors continue to set agriculture targets for climate change mitigation, it is essential for all parties to collaborate and co-invest in long-term strategies that drive systems-based goals for the benefit of all. During this event, value chain partners, working directly with growers and governments, will discuss what the challenges and opportunities are in a complex web of understanding where we are at and where we need to get to. Speakers will highlight the realities of developed and developing countries.
