agriculture and nutrition
should be considered global
public goods and be made
available to everyone.
• A world where knowledge creates power for the
many, not the few
• A world where information and insights are available
and accessible to everyone

• Number of people experiencing hunger is set to increase
to over 1 billion
• Increased frequency & intensity of natural disasters &
climate change will require adaptation to grow crops, raise
livestock & manage resources

produce more sustainably & equitably, with less inputs
• Enabling more efficient & effective decision making by
stakeholders at all levels
• Fostering innovation that everyone can benefit from by
creating new services, insights & applications

transparency in food production chains & measuring
targets
