11.00-12.30 Webinar: Opportunities in Benin: Water & Agri-food Nexus
Global food security has been a major policy goal for the Netherlands for more than a decade, with the ambition to become a global leader in circular agriculture, as part of the effort to build a green and circular economy. As the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) in Benin gradually phases out activities in the area of water this year, the session is the occasion to discuss the collaboration between the water and agri-food sector.
There is much for the Dutch water sector to offer from technical, market development and change process expertise to supporting education, training and capacity development at different levels on the water and agri-food nexus agenda. In this context, smallholder farmer engagement, irrigation, the horticulture value chain and the optimisation of the agri-food sector through digitalisation and climate smart agricultural practices will be among the topics discussed.
*This session will be complemented by a meet and greet with EKN Benin in the afternoon of Tuesday, 26 May 2021. This will be a moment for private sector parties to engage with embassy staff more directly with ideas and questions. Please note that due to time limitations during the meet and greet, a selection will be determined in collaboration with EKN Benin. You can indicate your interest in the meet and greet with your registration.
