Approximately 300 participants are expected to attend Agriculture Day, representing policy makers and negotiators, rural development practitioners, producers, civil society and the agricultural and climate change scientific community.
The farmers, scientists, fertilizer and crop protection industries are working together to promote the central role of agriculture in mitigating and adapting to climate change.
IFA was part of the organizing members of an official side-event of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change negotiations that took place in Poznan, Poland (1-12 December, 2008).
As part of the International Agri-Food Network, IFA joined forces with the International Federation of Agricultural Producers (IFAP), the Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR) and CropLife International. The objective of the side-event was to showcase agriculture as being part of the solution, rather than the problem, to climate change.
