The event will look at the role that sustainable agriculture can play in
feeding the world while addressing such concerns as reducing the
so-called 'carbon footprint', the start of farming 'cool' and protecting
soil from pesticides and erosion.
Industry stakeholders will share knowledge, insights and experiences
in a programme designed around working sessions, keynote speeches,
workshops, networking opportunities and roundtables. Topics on the
agenda include:
- successful cases of sustainable agriculture,
- sharing risk and value across the supply chain,
- the importance of local and global policy for sustainable
agriculture,
- the practicality of a global framework for farm metrics,
- responsible soy production,
- sustainable palm production,
- collaboration work in the value chain,
- insights and successful strategies in farmer capacity development.
