Green Agriculture and Science and Innovation: Main scientific findings in Europe and Central Asia
Virtual Event, 14/12/2022
10:00-13:00 CET
Agrifood systems in Europe and Central Asia are deeply affected by geopolitical and economic uncertainties which impact both directly and indirectly on food supply chains, and have repercussions in food markets; moreover, they are threatened by environmental, human-driven long-term stresses, such as climate change, deforestation, biodiversity loss and natural resource degradation. In this context, the greening of agriculture and food production is an important element for transforming food systems by reducing the pressure on natural resources, avoiding environmental degradation with high recycling ride, and using low external inputs while reducing poverty, increasing livelihoods, and ensuring food security and nutritional needs through sustainable policies and practices.
The main objective of this event is to present and discuss high-quality scientific evidences on the effectiveness and application of green agriculture practices and its science and innovation aspects in Europe and Central Asia. The event will also provide the opportunity to validate the main findings of these studies in collaboration with the participants. Therefore, leading to the conclusions that would establish the bases of national policies on GA and its science and innovation including green agriculture partnerships for Europe and Central Asia.
