Welcome

At-a-Glance | Sunday, June 15th - Thursday, June 19th Agribusiness & Food World Forum

Dear Friends and Colleagues, Thank you for investing your time and talent to participate in the 2014 IFAMA-Corporate Council on Africa Agribusiness & Food World Forum.

2014 is a landmark year for IFAMA, as we celebrate 25 years as an international organization that places the talent of people at the center of our work. Hosting our annual stakeholder event in Africa is very fitting for this important, milestone occasion. Africa is a region of limitless opportunity, where agribusiness has the potential to be the engine that drives dynamic, unprecedented economic growth and development. The path to increased prosperity and quality of life in Africa and everywhere in the world is through the talent of people.

People Feed the World will be the overarching framework for our discussions together in Cape Town, South Africa. The precious resource of people’s talent is the common and binding factor across the value chain of food creation and the essential platform for achieving global nutritional security.

I encourage you to take full advantage of the opportunity to engage across sectors and cultures – this is one of the special values that IFAMA brings to each of us. Please be bold with your perspectives, ask challenging questions and seek new ways to collaborate – this is how we innovate and how our industry advances.

Thad Simons Board President International Food and Agribusiness Management Association The International Food and Agribusiness Management Association (IFAMA) and The Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) have partnered to present the 2014 Agribusiness and Food World Forum in Cape Town, South Africa. IFAMA is an international management organization that brings together current and future business, academic, and government leaders along with other industry stakeholders to improve the strategic focus, transparency, sustainability and responsiveness of the global food and agribusiness system. CCA is a nonprofit, membership-based organization that promotes business and investment between the U.S. and the nations of Africa. As the premier American organization devoted to U.S.Africa business relations, CCA includes as members more than 175 companies representing nearly 85 percent of total U.S. private sector investments in Africa. The IFAMA/CCA partnership leverages both organizations’ vast networks and expertise to raise the issues most pertinent to strengthening Africa’s agribusiness sector, a key theme of this year’s World Forum. www.africacncl.org

IFAMA CCA

Agribusiness & Food World Forum Cape Town, South Africa June15-19, 2014

People Feed the World People Feed the World is a global event set on the stage of Africa. The African continent’s agriculture and agribusiness future has soared to the top of the world’s most elite economic growth and development agendas. The heightened attention on agriculture and agribusiness in Africa is based on the fact that the enormous growth potential of this region, now tangibly in sight, hinges on expanding the capacity of these industries.

Our work together during the 2014 Agribusiness & Food World Forum will be framed by three conversations that relate to the concept that People Feed the World: Africa’s Age of Opportunity—Agriculture at the Center of a $1 Trillion Economy in sub-Saharan Africa The Talent Factor—Evolution of Food and Agribusiness Value Chains A Noble Ambition—Engaging Talent in the Dynamic, Purpose-Driven Industry of Agribusiness

Forum Agenda | Tuesday, June 17th Africa Agribusiness’ Age of Opportunity Agribusiness is projected to grow to a $1 trillion USD industry in sub-Saharan Africa within the next two decades. There is an increased understanding that focusing resources on increasing production in isolation from agribusiness does not position this region to achieve the potential of this dynamic development. Increasing the talent capacity in agribusiness is essential to realizing Africa’s economic transformation and development.

The Global Knowledge Initiative--recently dubbed one of the world’s top 100 innovations for the next century—has created a highly interactive Solutions Visioning workshop experience that gives participants an opportunity to shape bold, innovative strategies for addressing food wastage and spoilage in Africa. This initiative is supported by The Rockefeller Foundation’s Food Waste and Spoilage initiative <http://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/blog/newinnovations-reduce-harvest-loss>, which seeks to ensure that two million African smallholder farmers have greater income and economic opportunities, improved resilience and increased food and nutritional security through reduced post-harvest loss in food crop value chains by 2020. Join this session to learn about GKI’s model and to hear about the experiences of and outcomes reached by a select group of World Forum participants who will engage in a Solutions Visioning workshop prior to the session.

Enabling Efficient and Inclusive Agricultural and Food Systems in Africa Earlier this year, FAO partnered with IFAMA and Stellenbosch University in a global call for papers on the topic of Enabling Efficient and Inclusive Agricultural and Food Systems in Africa. Fifteen papers were selected by a panel of FAO and external experts among dozens of contributions from young professionals from all over the world. The papers will form the basis for the symposium and include thought leadership on topics including: market access, value chain innovations and public-private partnership models.

Each selected author will provide a brief overview of their work and will be available to interact with the audience for questions.

The outcome of this event will be a book published by FAO with the goal of informing governments and development organizations on initiatives to improve inclusiveness and efficiency in agricultural and food systems.

Take a hands-on tour of the Global Food Security Index, an interactive tool developed by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and sponsored by DuPont. This unique tool can support research and coursework, decision making and planning.

The model can help assess the countries that are most and least vulnerable to food insecurity through categories of affordability, availability, nutritional quality and food safety. These factors help in studying the effect of poor or inadequate infrastructure, political corruption, and even soil quality on food security. Join experts from the EIU and put the Index to work. Seating is limited to 72!

1000 Days to Change the Future

Sponsored by:

The 1,000 days period is the crucial period of development, when malnutrition can have severe life-long impacts on the individual, the family and society as a whole.

Nutritional deficiencies that occur during this time are often overlooked, resulting in a hidden hunger. It is a problem of great human and economic dimensions, impacting rich and poor countries alike.

Pat Thaker | Moderator Regional Director, Middle East and Africa, The Economist Intelligence Unit Joshua Grundleger, Senior Analyst, Project Manager GFSI, The Economist Intelligence Unit

After the Global Food Security Index workshop, continue the conversation about food security scenarios and assumptions with officials from the EIU. Stop by to discuss the model and how it can help uncover the food and nourishment needs of a growing population.

Thursday, June 19th Noble Ambition: Feeding the World

Women in Agriculture

Safe Food for the World

Agribusiness is a global, entrepreneurial, dynamic and purpose-driven industry. However, around the world, talent attrition from agribusiness is growing rapidly. Younger generations are actively seeking careers in alternative fields including IT, healthcare and education. How can we more effectively communicate that all of these fields and passions have an intersection with agribusiness? As leaders, it is our responsibility to share the genuine nature of agribusiness.

We must ensure our value system resonates with the next generation of leaders—there is no nobler purpose than Feeding the World.

As new knowledge on the role of gender in agricultural productivity emerges, the need to close the gender gap has become increasingly evident. Empowering women as economic, social, and political actors will result in more representative and balanced policy-level decision-making.

In emerging regions, women need access to targeted resources such as: education and extension, financial services and technologies that optimize their time for value-adding, productive activities. Learn from these women about impactful programs that are successfully integrating women into agribusiness, creating models and leadership at the local and global level. Sponsored by:

Vicki Wilde | Moderator Senior Program Officer, Global Development, Agricultural Development and Gender

In today’s world, food’s journey from meadow to meal or hook to cook can include multiple steps, many vehicles, and several transformations. As demand for food increases, food is increasingly making longer and more complicated journeys with more companies participating in its production and delivery. As a result, the opportunities for the introduction and spread of contamination increase. The World Bank’s Global Food Safety Partnership is a unique public-private initiative dedicated to improving the safety of food in middle-income and developing countries. Learn how they raise the professionalism of people working in Food Safety by combining training and technical support so developing countries can improve their food safety systems and benefit from better compliance with food safety standards.

40 Chances to Change the World The concept of “40 Chances” was introduced in a bestselling book by Howard G. Buffet, where he describes that all farmers can expect to have about 40 growing seasons, giving them just 40 chances to improve on every harvest. We have to make every season count!

This past Spring, IFAMA partnered with The World Food Prize Foundation to support the 40 Chances Fellows Program. Fellowship funds will be awarded to four social entrepreneurs under the age of 40 who are addressing issues of hunger, conflict, or poverty in Liberia, Malawi, Rwanda, and Sierra Leone. Ambassador Quinn will talk with us about the importance of the entrepreneurial spirit in agriculture and why we must nourish this, as we reflect upon the centennial anniversary of Norman Borlaug’s birth.

Delivering Talent for the Future: Education and Training at the Crossroads More than two-thirds of the African population relies on agriculture for their livelihood and the sector represents a third of the continent’s GDP. Efforts to improve agribusiness productivity will drive demand and growth in other economic sectors. A central challenge to scaling agriculture is a fundamental lack of skills and knowledge. A vibrant agricultural education training system, linked to relevant multi-sector stakeholders both on the continent and internationally, is essential. Join this session to participate in a discussion about the challenge and opportunities for broadly engaging Africa’s human capital for agriculture.
