National Agricweek and Food Expo: A program Designed to Create Growth in Agro Sector

 

National AgriWeek and Food Expo, is an Agriculture  program, designed by Trade Nigeria and Globe Chamber of Commerce to create opportunity for growth in the Agro sector of an economy.

The Agriculture and Food expo will be a breaking ground for Agri/Agro business and, also unifying international countries seeking to unlock new export opportunities in Africa where strong economic growth is driving demand for imported food and farm products.

The program initiative, will seek to strengthen the commercial ties and foster fair and reciprocal trade between  countries.

The objective of the program will be to help lay foundations for long-lasting business relationships. In addition, in-depth economic and policy analysis, and local site visits will help participants better understand the opportunities and challenges of exporting to other countries of the world.

 

In terms of Sustainable Food and Agriculture, Take a look at the imminent threats to sustainable food security through a cross-sectoral lens. As the world faces food supply challenges posed by the declining growth rate of agricultural productivity, accelerated deterioration of quantity and quality of natural resources that underpin agricultural production, climate change, and hunger, poverty and malnutrition, a multi-faced understanding is key to identifying practical solutions.

 

The Agriweek and Food Expo will give stakeholders a common vision, concept and methods that are based on proven and widely agreed strategies for continuous improvement in sustainability at different scales.

While information on policies and technologies that would enhance productivity and sustainability of individual agricultural sectors is available to some extent, researches and literatures are practically devoid of information and experiences for countries and communities considering a comprehensive approach (cross-sectoral policies, strategies and technologies). The Agriweek and Food Expo will, in its effort try to  fill this gap, providing information on proven options for enhancing productivity, profitability, equity and environmental sustainability of individual sectors and, in addition, how to identify opportunities and actions for exploiting cross-sectoral synergies.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted in a world where food insecurity and hunger present an enormous global challenge. The world’s population is expected to grow to nine billion by 2050 and demand on global food systems intensifies every day. However, transforming our food and agriculture systems to make them sustainable, resilient and inclusive will deliver access to healthy and nutritious foods, help create livelihoods for small-scale producers and processors, and help protect ecosystems and combat climate change.

In this context, business has become a critical partner in designing and delivering effective, scalable and practical solutions for food security and sustainable agriculture. Every actor along the agriculture supply chain, including farmers, producers, traders, retailers, investors and consumers has a critical role to play to establish sustainable food systems that advance food security, protect the environment and ensure economic opportunity.

The vision of a world without hunger is ambitious. And it cannot be achieved in isolation. Food security and sustainable agriculture call for all businesses, large or small, to conduct responsible business.
