Food for Future – Making it Happen
UN-FAO’s Agri Innovation Days

Our food systems are teetering on the brink of complete meltdown post the pandemic; however, the world today is actively recognising the urgency of nurturing their food security agendas and the need to unite their efforts to deliver a resilient and sustainable food system. There is much hope in the innovators, change makers and disruptors as well as the youth of today to take us positively towards the exciting future of food.

International ministerial delegations and leading executives from Non-Profit Organisations worldwide come together to discuss, debate and determine new solutions for our current food security issues. They will also dive into uniting efforts with innovators, disruptors and youth to drive immediate and lasting impact.

VIEW AGENDA

Making It Happen covers more pragmatic sessions with a focus on innovation and technology-enhanced agriculture and supply chain. From end-to-end IoT solutions to drone and satellite monitoring to robotics and AI, we’ll also cover supply chain with DLT. The focus will also be more regional with innovations to make farming more efficient and sustainable, while bringing in relevant international case studies.

Main takeaways will include:

Why agriculture and food production need to become far more efficient?
Innovations in farming to enhance food security and sovereignty
Leveraging digital technologies to optimize food production along the value chain and reduce waste
