We will explore the challenges and opportunities to implement sustainable agroforestry practices, and discuss what actions have been taken by the producing countries and the role of global partnership to achieve the SDGs. The program includes high-profile guest speakers from the governments, industries, NGOs and researchers. The seminar will conclude with lunch and networking opportunities. We look forward to meeting you at the seminar.
