#Americas AgForum26
Quebec City, Canada
The future of agriculture and food security in the Americas is shaped by the decisions, partnerships, and innovations that advance tomorrow’s agriculture today. Our annual #AmericasAgForum brings together transformative leaders from government, academia, the private sector, international organizations, and farming communities to foster dialogue, strengthen collaboration, and identify practical solutions for a more resilient, sustainable, and prosperous agricultural future.
As the leading hemispheric platform for agricultural cooperation, the Forum serves as a powerful catalyst for knowledge exchange, strategic partnerships, and collective action. Through cutting-edge discussions on national security, agtech, sustainability, resilience, animal and plant health, and agri-food trade, participants will explore opportunities to strengthen agri-food systems across the hemisphere.
By convening key decision-makers and experts from throughout the Americas, the Forum aims to advance a shared vision for agriculture, one that fosters economic growth, environmental stewardship, and food security, while ensuring that producers and the broader agri-food communities are fully equipped to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
