 The
CGIAR Annual General Meeting 2005 (AGM05) brought
together the world’s leading food and environmental
scientists and civil society to strengthen and expand
partnerships that stimulate economic growth in Africa,
Asia, and Latin America. Through dialogue and the sharing
of experiences, over 1,000 participants explored
how agricultural research, science and technology, and
food policy initiatives could better improve the lives
and livelihoods of poor people, and launched new initiatives
that will bring the benefits of modern science quicker and
faster to poor farmers.
