South America’s challenges and opportunities with regard to establishing resilient supply chains

GFFA Berlin e.V.

The effects of pandemics, biodiversity loss and climate change, as well as global hunger, currently pose major challenges to industry, science and politics. Food security, in particular, should be improved through the further development of resilient and sustainable supply chains. Due to different locational advantages and partners involved, supply chains also differ greatly in the individual regions of the world. This economic panel will focus on South America, and our guests will explain the challenges and opportunities they are facing when it comes to establishing resilient and sustainable supply chains. South America’s locational advantages in respect of sustainability, including the region’s wealth of renewable resources, biological diversity and traditional knowledge, offer valuable ideas, including for other regions in the world.

Our panellists will present innovative solutions and discuss which type of rule-based trading is needed for resilient supply chains. In South America, too, the question arises as to how new digital tools and other technological instruments could be provided to farmers to enable them to earn an adequate income from sustainable production. The panel will therefore also examine the importance of innovations for greater resilience in production and trade.
