IFAMA2020-Rotterdam goes Digital
IFAMA’s 30th World Conference: Food for the Future – initially planned for June 15-18, 2020 in Rotterdam, was cancelled. Instead, the organizing partners have decided to develop something even better – an ongoing digital program in which you can participate and follow on demand on https://www.foodlog.nl/ifama/.
We have decided to explore a new type of worldwide conversation. Our ambition is to make it last.
The pandemic is accelerating the urgency to construct a more resilient food system. As governments pour trillions of dollars —almost post WWII— ‘Keynesian’ style money into the economy, it requires intelligent input from all stakeholders. An articulated plan is sorely needed to create trust, add value, and manage the ongoing risks, losses, and cracks in the food system. It cannot be solely defined from the top down, as it is highly dependent on complex, interconnected networks.
