Food system midstreams: A debate on the Rural Development Report 2021

03 February 2022

15:00-16:30 CET

Join us for the first in a series of debates on IFAD’s Rural Development Report where we will discuss the untapped potential of the food system midstreams - the activities after the farm gate, such as trading, storing, processing, and distributing to consumers. Innovation, finance, investments and entrepreneurship at this stage are key to expanding opportunities for small-scale producers.

With opening remarks from Norway’s Minister of International Development, Anne Beathe Tvinnereim, tune in to discover the report’s key recommendations, the obstacles to achieving transformation, and the opportunities for creating equitable, sustainable, healthy, and environmentally-friendly food systems. The audience will also have the opportunity to ask the panellists questions.
