We believe in the importance of investing in an integrated landscape approach that improves agricultural productivity and rural livelihoods, while also addressing threats to forests, water, and biodiversity. The 4th Agriculture and Rural Development Day (ARDD), was a key event at Rio+20 covering the vision for a sustainable green economy including clear steps for building a sustainable food system.
The event gave voice to a wide cross section of people working on land, food and sustainability. Learning events explored concrete cases of success that could translate into a thorough transformation of the global food system, and afternoon sessions focused on science for a food-secure future.
The event was co-hosted by Embrapa and CGIAR.
