Focus on food system resilience and role of digital technologies
From October 19 to 23, 2020, the Consortium of International Agricultural Research Centers (CGIAR) will conduct a virtual and global convention ‘Digital Dynamism for Adaptive Food Systems’. The event will examine food system resilience and highlight how digital tools and technologies can help us sense, respond and rebuild better systems in times of global food security crises.
It will also examine what it takes to build long term resilient food systems that leverage collaboration between CGIAR Centers, global agripreneur networks, food companies, crisis relief organizations and local actors.
Experts believe that there is a need for resilient food systems that come into stark relief during a crisis. Responses must be agile and adaptive, facilitating the quickest possible recovery while equipping these systems to adaptively manage or avert crises in the future.
