Day One includes a series of plenary sessions from leading figures from key stakeholder organisations in the global crop production industry,
including governments, banks, supply companies, associations, research institutes and training bodies.
The agenda has been developed through an unprecedented, in-depth, qualitative research process, during which we asked the international crop production
community which crutial topics to address. This was further reinforced and supported by the CropWorld Advisory Panel, a group of 30 leading specialists from across
the crop production spectrum.
