CGIAR Platform for Big Data in Agriculture 2020

Digital Dynamism for Adaptive Food Systems

October 19 to 23, 2020

  • 9:00 – 5:30 pm (Europe/Brussels)
  • 3:00 – 11:30 am (US/Eastern)
  • 12:30 – 9:00 pm (Asia/Kolkata)

IFPRI is participating in the CGIAR Big Data Platform Conference on October 19-23, 2020.

The need for resilient food systems comes into stark relief during a crisis. Responses must be agile and adaptive, facilitating the quickest possible recovery while equipping these systems to adaptively manage or avert crises in the future.

The event theme, Digital Dynamism for Adaptive Food Systems, will examine food system resilience and highlight how digital tools and technologies can help us sense, respond and (re)build better systems in times of global food security crises.
