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.
