About the AgroLAC 2025 Inaugural Partner & Project Conference #AgroLACBrasil March 10-11 – São Paulo, Brazil Dow Headquarters Av. das Nações Unidas, 14171, Diamond Tower CEP: 04795-00 São Paulo (SP), Brazil Paul Oreffice Auditorium This is the first meeting of AgroLAC 2025 partners and supporters, which is being held in advance of the official public launch of the funding platform, to be held later in the year. It is an opportunity for the AgroLAC 2025 platform’s steering committee and collaborative partners to begin working together and to discuss specific opportunities and projects that the fund could support. The meeting is being hosted by Dow, an early and key supporter of the AgroLAC 2025 initiative and a supporting partner in the preparation of the 2014 report, The Next Global Breadbasket: How Latin America Can Feed the World, spearheaded by the IDB and the Global Harvest Initiative. An early Steering Committee member, The Nature Conservancy, is participating in the meeting, as well as nearly 100 representatives from more than 40 agribusinesses and non-profit agriculture-related research and other stakeholder organizations. Aside from two plenary gatherings of the participants, the event consists of breakout sessions on a number of key topics aligned with the AgroLAC pillars – linking farmers to markets, sustainable agricultural intensification, and agri/environmental planning. These sessions will explore opportunities for the funding platform to spur innovation in these areas and identify potential partners for developing solutions that AgroLAC 2025 can support.
