This was the core topic of the sixth Global Forum for Food and Agriculture (GFFA), which was held in Berlin from 16 to 18 January 2014.
The possible and necessary response on behalf of governments and the main stakeholders in the agricultural sector was the focus of the sixth Global Forum for Food and Agriculture with over 2,000 delegates from all over the world, described as the “Davos of the food and agriculture sector”. The Global Forum for Food and Agriculture (GFFA) is an international conference on key future topics concerning the global agriculture and the food sectors.
At the same time, 70 agriculture ministers met in Berlin 2014 for the Agriculture Ministers‘Summit, the largest forum of its kind in the world.
And these are some of the topics that were discussed:
What strategies and projects already exist at various levels by which agricultural and rural structures could be reinforced? How can the entire production and logistics chain for food products (agriculture value chain) be improved? How can farmers, the food sector, and the trade and crafts sector be supported sustainably?
On the Cooperation Market, held on Saturday the 18th of January, AFC Consultants presented News and Information from on-going projects in its fields of work, especially in Agriculture and Agribusiness.
