The next 40 years will be the most important in the history of agriculture. The #AmericasAgForum25 is the global event on the margins of the G7 Leaders' Summit focused on fostering common ground, promoting collaboration, and finding practical solutions for a more sustainable agriculture future.
This Hemispheric Forum aims to establish itself as a key space for dialogue and action, driving innovative solutions and regional cooperation strategies to address current challenges and to seize opportunities in the agriculture and agri-food sectors. By convening leaders and experts at a strategic moment, the event will contribute to raising awareness of the importance of agriculture and food security for the sustainable development of the Americas and the world.
