Building upon the success and momentum of previous years, the World AgriFood Innovation (WAFI) Conference returns in 2024 with an even more pressing and timely theme: "Climate Change & AgriFood Systems Transformation". This year's event promises to be a landmark gathering that will shape the future of sustainable agrifood systems.

With the world facing unprecedented challenges due to climate change, the transformation of agrifood systems has become a top priority. WAFI2024 brings together international experts, policymakers, industry leaders, and innovators to address these challenges head-on, exploring new strategies and solutions for making agrifood systems more resilient, sustainable, and adaptive to the impacts of climate change.

To spark dynamic dialogues, unveil cutting-edge research, nurture partnerships, and fuel agrifood innovation, the agenda includes a main forum, five stakeholder forums, several parallel sessions, and side events. Through collaborations with top agricultural institutions, companies, and associations worldwide, we will delve into key topics such as AI and Digital Technology, Climate-smart Agriculture, Novel Food, Nutrition and Health, Livestock and Aquatics, Biotechnology, Policy and Governance, Resilience and Sustainability, Smallholders, Finance, and more.

Through a series of keynote speeches, thematic forums, panel discussions, and workshops, participants will engage in a rich and dynamic exchange of ideas, fostering collaboration and partnerships that can drive meaningful change.

As we gather in Beijing, China, for this historic event, we invite all stakeholders in the agrifood sector to join us in this critical conversation.
