Productivity and Sustainability

This event is part of the IGC Grains Conference 2024, which focuses on the role of global trade in the context of volatile markets and food security.

During the last two decades, close to 1.0bn t of grains and oilseeds have been added to the global balance sheet. Furthermore, the global stocktake issued at the end of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) encouraged the implementation of sustainable agriculture and resilient food systems as a part of climate change responses. This session will develop a discussion between stakeholders on projects involving changes across the agricultural sector, as well as the impact on the grains market.
