Stockholm/ Digital
1 June you can join us at Sida in Stockholm, for a day filled with experiences from the ground on the agency of farmer and forest associations, indigenous people and local communities, youth and women in the climate, biodiversity and food security crisis. AgriFoSe2030 will host the first of three events. For those not able to attend in Stockholm, the event will be live-streamed.
Three separate but thematically linked dialogues within the field of agriculture, land use, food systems, biodiversity, tenure and rights will be facilitated with a wide range of speakers. In-between the events networking spaces, lunch and coffee will be provided to the participants.
The day will thus serve both as dialogue opportunities ahead of Stockholm+50 as associated events and as a forum to initiate much needed deepened collaborations to accelerate global progress towards a more just, resilient, and sustainable future. Focus will be on the situation for and messages from rights holders and their agency in bridging the implementation gaps, from words to action, for a healthy, just and liveable planet.
Short information about the three dialogues is listed below, where you can also find links to separate event pages with full agendas, bios of speakers and information about the organisers.
The registration to join physically is now closed.
You are welcome to follow the event on Facebook or YouTube.
11:00 – 12:30
The global food crisis – a threat or opportunity for young smallholder farmers and agripreneurs
Current world developments and shocks, are potentially leading to a reversal of the rural youth progress achieved in recent years in terms of inclusion, and access to decent employment, in food systems development. This event looks at the challenges today’s rural agripreneurial youth face in building capacities toward contributing to sustainable food systems, but also the opportunities these challenges can bring.
How can – and will – agripreneurial rural youth build capacities to support sustainable food systems? Co-organised by the Swedish International Agricultural Network Initiative (SIANI) and the Agriculture for Food Security 2030 programme (AgriFoSe2030), this event will address the capacity development needs of rural agripreneurial youth and how to enable them to take on the challenges of feeding a projected 9.7 billion people by 2050 in a sustainable manner.
Insights on the topic will be shared by speakers from AGRA, the Eastern African Farmers’ Federation, Baridi, and SLU.

From the ground up: channeling finance to smallholder forest and farm producers organizations for full spectrum climate action
The main objective of this hybrid event, is to increase the visibility of forest and farm producer organisations (FFPOs) in delivering ‘full spectrum climate action’. It will explain what that means, and show how FFPOs can mobilise 1.5 billion smallholder producers to aggregate products from multiple smallholdings that mix biodiverse agriculture, agroforestry and natural forests, a vast collective pool of climate change mitigation, adaptation, and resilience. Pursuing market opportunities for diverse product baskets, they frequently also invest in wider goals that are central to sustainability, resilience and equity. Strengthening FFPOs in long term partnership, and channelling more climate finance through them, is a game changer for climate action that the Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) invites you to join.

Transforming our Relation with Land and Nature from an Intergenerational Perspective -Indigenous Peoples’ role for a healthy and just planet 2072
This event aims to highlight the role and importance of Indigenous peoples and local communities in safeguarding the world’s forests, ecosystems and biodiversity.

A diverse panel will explore how support for indigenous and community land rights and agency can accelerate global transformation towards a more just, resilient, and sustainable future, and what different actors can do to make this happen.
