COVID-19, global conflict, and climate change threaten progress and resiliency in the agricultural sector worldwide. But regions like East Africa are poised with the opportunity to positively disrupt an otherwise daunting narrative — and to ensure we can feed a growing global population.
The Global Agricultural Productivity Initiative from Virginia Tech is hosting a solutions-oriented event on 23 June from 9:30 – 1 p.m. EAT in Nairobi, Kenya, where attendees will find specific actions that can be taken in the next 12-36 months to accelerate agricultural productivity growth and enhance sustainability and resilience in East Africa, a region that shows promise for helping bolster global food and nutrition security.
East African and international experts from government, industry, universities and the research community, producers, development agencies, and civil society will be in attendance to share their insight.
