The Agri4D conference aims to bridge scientific knowledge to policy outputs and to create a real-world impact on global food systems to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 2, Zero Hunger.
This conference will take stock of the current knowledge frontier, connect science to policymaking and practice and spark new collaborations among researchers, policymakers and practitioners who are working on the urgent issues of stressors and vulnerabilities within food systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
We encourage both academia and non-academia to participate in this conference. We will launch alternative formats for sessions that open up for transdisciplinary discussions and presentations.
The conference will be held online and address the current global situation in two different themes.
- Theme 1: Securing food and nutrition within planetary boundaries
- Theme 2: Governance and rights in food systems: Leaving no one behind
