Programme
The objective of Agri4D 2025 is to discuss science that can contribute to evidence-based policy and practice needed to transform global food systems and contribute to SDG 2. This year’s Agri4D will focus on nurturing regenerative food systems that are resilient to climate change and have low climate impact, while contributing to social, environmental and economic sustainability. The conference encourages dynamic multi-stakeholder dialogues that can stimulate transformations contributing to eradicate hunger in the world.
All stakeholders, including researchers, practitioners, civil society, private sector and policy makers, who are working on food systems in vulnerable contexts, are invited to join the conference to discuss innovative solutions for tomorrow. You can engage in several ways, for example through oral presentations, workshops, roundtable discussions or storytelling.
Organised by SLU Global at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and the Swedish International Agriculture Network Initiative (SIANI), with support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
