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.
