IFPRI Staff are participating in the CGIAR Platform for Big Data in Agriculture co-hosted by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) taking place October 3-5, 2018 at the Campus of the World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF) in Nairobi, Kenya.

This convention is the second yearly event to bring together the people and organizations that make the Platform for Big Data successful. Three days of focused, action-based discussion to find commonalities across research institutes, governments, and private organizations sets the stage for a productive and data-driven year ahead!

We look forward to you joining us for a lively week on this year’s theme: “Decoding the Data Ecosystem.” We’ll dive into ways the data ecosystem for food security can integrate with real ecosystems worldwide, from the global to the local, across public, private, and non-profit goods.
