SUMMARY:European Development Days 2015
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the European Commission\, the European Development Days is Europe’s leading forum on development and international cooperation. The forum builds on a core belief: cooperation is the cornerstone of a fairer world. An essential aim is thus to facilitate networking and inspire the desire to work together even more closely in a spirit of true partnership. EDD is an incubator of new ideas to inform our shared aim of a poverty-free\, sustainable and fair world where everyone has a chance at a decent life. \nEach year\, European Development Days attracts about 7 000 participants from over 140 countries\, representing 1 200 organisations from the field of development cooperation\, human rights and humanitarian aid. In bringing together the global development community\, the European Union also engages political leaders\, development practitioners\, the private sector and civil society in shaping the EU’s policies for tackling poverty worldwide. Everyone is given a voice in this open\, collaborative and inclusive platform. Various interesting side events in relation to food security are organized during the EDD2015: \nValue Chains for Value Gains\nThis Small Farmers Big Business Practical lab ‘Value Chains for Value Gains – Engaging the private sector in sustainable agriculture and agribusiness’ aims to be both informative and interactive\, with exchange and debate between thought leaders and practitioners on approaches for building sustainable and inclusive agribuisness models.
