Three online side-event seminars of G7 Agriculture Ministers’ Meeting in Miyazaki
G7 Agriculture Ministers' Meeting in Miyazaki will be held from Saturday April 22 to Sunday 23, 2023.
Amid growing international concern about food security, agriculture ministers in charge of domestic agricultural production and food supply are tasked with making food systems resilient and sustainable including reducing the environmental impact of agricultural production. This G7 Agriculture Ministers' Meeting is a good opportunity to send a strong message to that end.
On this occasion, we will hold seminars to disseminate various initiatives by G7 countries, international organizations, private companies, and the research sector under three themes. We look forward to your participation worldwide.
