The Board for International Food and Agricultural Development (BIFAD) and USAID, with support from the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), are facilitating a 3-day AgExchange November 18-20, 2014. This facilitated, online discussion will bring together key stakeholders to share experiences and input on how human and institutional capacity development (HICD) can contribute to a high-performing, agricultural innovation system to feed the world by 2050.
The AgExchange, hosted on Agrilinks, welcomes participation from stakeholders around the world, particularly those that work in:
- Higher education institutions (researchers, faculty, and students)
- National agricultural research institutions
- Ministries of agriculture
- Feed the Future implementing partner organizations
- Private sector
Participants will be asked to share best practices and experiences, constraints, and solutions for building human and institutional capacity to support agricultural innovation systems. These discussions will be facilitated by subject-matter experts.
The AgExchange will also draw and solicit input on recommendations from three recent reports focused on HICD. A webinar providing background on the reports’ recommendations and key HICD concepts and issues will precede the AgExchange.
