Don’t miss out on tomorrow’s FP Virtual Dialogue exploring the critical role of agriculture in mitigating the impacts of climate change while fostering a more sustainable future for farmers and our food.

While agricultural communities around the world face many similar environmental challenges --from soil degradation and droughts to fires and floods-- agriculture is also at the forefront of locally led climate adaptation. Farmers are on the front lines of climate change and are often best-placed to identify solutions that not only meet local needs but also identify opportunities for climate-smart investment and innovation to help secure the global food supply. As governments and industry stakeholders are advocating to place agriculture on the climate agenda, how are global programs and partnerships designed to harness international, cross-sector collaboration while also ensuring that ag-tech solutions can be implemented with local input and ownership?  

Join us for our newest FP Virtual Dialogue, in partnership with the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates, as we explore this topic and showcase innovative farming practices at the local level, as well as international efforts to reduce the climate impact of our global food production.

You’ll hear from: 
  • Jamie Adams, Senior Advisor, USDA
  • Hana AlHashimi, Head of the UAE Special Envoy for Climate Change Office
  • Jim Barnhart, Assistant to the Administrator, Bureau for Resilience and Food Security, USAID
  • David Livingston, Senior Advisor to U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry
  • Abdulaziz AlMulla, Founder and CEO, Madar Farms
  • Ruramiso Mashumba, Farmer, Zimbabwe
