The World Agricultural Forum (WAF) is the foremost global agricultural platform that initiates dialogue between those who can impact agriculture. The WAF is focused on sustaining the lives and livelihood of the world’s population by meeting the growing needs for food, fuel and fiber. On a global stage, the WAF produces one of the largest biennial gatherings of leaders ready to implement innovation and positive changes addressing the world’s growing population and respective agriculture shortages in both developed and developing nations. WAF World Congress In May 2009, the WAF experienced the most successful World Congress to date. More than 400 world leaders gathered for the 10th Anniversary of the WAF, to focus on Creating Prosperity through Investments in Agriculture. With more than 30 nations represented, the WAF was able to highlight more key outcomes poised to empower agriculture than in years past. Purpose The principal activity of the WAF is a regular World Congress the purpose of which is to unite leaders and decision-makers in non- governmental organizations, business, international associations, global foundations and academia to discuss and identify solutions to problems facing the development of agriculture to sustain the global population. A particular focus is to address hunger and poverty. The WAF encourages participants at its Congresses to seek solutions capable of providing a sustainable agriculture which contributes to global economic development. With the agribusiness industry expanding beyond food into the energy, industrial products and pharmaceutical sectors, the need for innovative solutions has never been greater. The WAF provides one of the few policy neutral and inclusive fora to allow discussion between international decision makers striving for change in the universal agricultural system. Through the experiences and ideas shared at the World Congresses, more socially conscious decisions can and have been reached that better represent the needs of a global audience. Value The WAF opens the door for participants to gain valuable insights about the implications for both global and regional industry players and the societies that they serve, attracting attention to the key drivers of innovation in agribusiness. By recognizing the value of collaboration between each participant and their individual perspectives on the execution of goals established during World Congresses, the WAF aspires to lend a fresh, comprehensive perspective to formidable issues awaiting solutions. |
