Farmers are at the core of sustainable commodities production; however too often, they are not given a seat at the table.
Ahead of our Sustainable Landscapes and Commodities conference in November, our online panel of farmers from across the globe discussed:
• The challenges they have faced this year and are likely to face in the year ahead.
• Their priorities for the future of their farms and families.
• What they need from food companies to secure their livelihoods, and future sustainable food production.
• Practical examples of specific initiatives that have benefited farming communities and driven a positive impact of the ground.
Join our panel of farmers:
• Stephen Lansana, palm oil farmer and inaugural secretary, Ngoyai Gbaayegie Farmers Group, Sierra Leone
• Kule Francis Baita, coffee and fruit farmer and board secretary, Bukonzo Organic Cooperative Union, Uganda
• Jorge Bianciotto, crop farmer and board, Sociedad Rural de Pergamino, Argentina
• Ashirafu Kihongosi, sunflower and soybean farmer and project training lead, Clinton Development Initiative, Tanzania
This webinar was moderated by Ian Welsh, publishing director, Innovation Forum.
