As the global pandemic continues to disrupt our personal and professional lives, IFAMA has decided to postpone all in-person events in 2021. We will instead host a 5-day virtual event: “Innovations Reshaping the Future of Food.” The conference will contain some of the originally planned theme of digitalization and is expanded to include the broader dynamics of innovation in agri-food sectors. 2021 FORUM PROGRAM Battered by the pandemic, climate change, and geopolitical instability, a radical rethinking of the entire global food system is necessary, from producers to consumers to change the current paradigm. Our new theme “Innovations Reshaping the Future of Food” will present initiatives that are reshaping the global food chain in 2021. We will discuss the evolution of food-systems and the challenges of agricultural development in both industrialized and developing countries. In so doing, we aim to provide a catalyst for change and further research on these rapidly evolving fields as we explore the following:
This livestreamed event will feature all the components of IFAMA’s in-person conferences (Forum, Symposium, Virtual Student Case Competition). It will operate in three different time zones [Americas (North, Central, and South America); Europe and Africa; and Asia and Oceania] making it convenient for presenters and participants to attend the regional program with unlimited on-demand access to presentations from the entire global program. The event is expected to attract 500 participants with executive-level speakers generating thought-provoking discussions from around the world. |
