Digital technologies reshape agricultural and food system not only in the EU but all over Eurasia creating new opportunities for more efficient, competitive and sustainable food value chains. As technological progress is rapid, prerequisites for a successful digital transformation are to be created in the form of supportive regulatory frameworks, infrastructure, human capital and consumers’ and producers’ trust.
IAMO Forum 2020 aims to connect research, business, civil society and politics and promote debate on economic, social, environmental and institutional aspects of digital transformation of food value chains. The country focus is on economies of Europe, Central Asia and China, including comparative studies.
The first conference day (24 June 2020) will focus on the latest digital developments and their impact on agricultural markets and food system from scientific perspectives. The second day (25 June 2020) will highlight the benefits and challenges of implementing new technologies from a business perspective. On the third day (26 June 2020), the event will culminate with a panel discussion, joined by nationally and internationally recognized guests from science, civil organizations, agribusiness and policy and aimed at discussing the possible ways and strategies to achieve the comprehensive digital transformation of agri-food sector. In the spirit of the young generation's participation in socially relevant topics, an interactive session for school children on the topic “Bits, Bytes & Burger?! Digitalization in Food Production” is planned after the panel discussion.
IAMO Forum 2020 is jointly organized by IAMO, the Agriculture and Food Global Practice of the World Bank, the Kyiv School of Economics, the Tashkent State Agrarian University, the Higher School of Economics Moscow, the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Belgrade and the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Development, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
