Ensure global food security – end hunger
At present, almost 821 million people in the world are suffering from hunger and about 2 billion people are suffering from malnutrition. We intend to work together to find solutions for the farming sector in order to ensure global food security and to realise the right to adequate food at global level. We thereby hope to make a contribution to the implementation of the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

Make agriculture more sustainable
Agriculture is the largest employment sector worldwide and currently provides income for 40% of the world’s population. The global population is predicted to rise to around 10 billion by the year 2050. Providing these people with the available scarce natural resources will be the most urgent global challenge of our future. Our goal is to make smart, efficient and sustainable use of these resources around the globe and thus to increase agricultural productivity in a sustainable manner.

Provide a global platform
We provide an attractive platform to discuss the key issues for the future of the global food and agricultural sectors in an international context from different perspectives and to develop solutions.
