The Alliance at ICAE 2024

The 32nd International Conference of Agricultural Economists (ICAE-2024) will be held from August 2-7, 2024, at the NASC Complex in New Delhi (India) centered on the theme “Transformation Towards Sustainable Agri-Food Systems”.

This event offers a unique platform for agricultural academic institutions and researchers to meet in person, share knowledge, and contribute to the global agricultural research community. The flagship conference of the International Association of Agricultural Economists (IAAE) typically draws around a thousand participants from around the world. The IAAE, with its global membership, is committed to addressing agricultural economic challenges and promoting the application of agricultural economics to improve rural economic and social conditions.
Our sessions
Alliance’s experts will contribute to this important Conference with various sessions. These sessions will cover a broad range of topics related to the transformation of agri-food systems. They include workshops on transdisciplinary approaches and the bioeconomy, panels discussing the transformative role of the bioeconomy, and symposiums addressing changing food environments and urban food systems. The focus will be on collaborative frameworks, sustainable development, dietary transitions in Africa, and policy implications for agri-food systems in Africa and Asia.

Paper Presentations
Alliance’s researchers will present their papers contributing to address critical issues in agricultural economics and food security. Topics include the impact of agronomy extension on household resilience, the adoption of climate-smart agricultural technologies, and the rise of nutrition-related diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa. Other papers will discuss the macroeconomic impacts of traditional crop varieties, incentives for agroecological practices, and the economic analysis of bean projects in Zimbabwe and Burundi. The papers will provide insights into resilience, sustainability, and economic implications for smallholder farmers and agri-food systems.
