On 3-5 June, GLF will host one of the world’s first global digital conference on integrated land use from its new digital broadcasting center in Bonn, Germany, marking a new era for global conversation with a minimized carbon footprint.
2020 marks the start of what many believe will be the most important decade of the century. The global community has committed itself to ending poverty, hunger, malnutrition, gender inequality, and the degradation of ecosystems by 2030, as articulated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
SDG 2 specifically seeks sustainable solutions to end hunger in all its forms by 2030 and to achieve food security. At the same time, SDG 12 calls for responsible consumption and production; SDG14 urges us to conserve and sustainably use the oceans; SDG15 focuses on preserving terrestrial ecosystems, or life on land, and SDG 13 promises to deliver climate action. That is a big ask.
The 2020 theme of GLF is “Food and Livelihoods.” Today, agricultural production, mostly for food, is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions and is the main driver of deforestation.
Investing in sustainable landscapes is often the solution to enriching biodiversity and vice versa.
Can a population of nearly 10 billion sustainably feed and nourish itself in 2050? By highlighting opportunities for large-scale and system-wide transformations and successful initiatives, GLF Bonn 2020 will illustrate a future for sustainable agriculture and food production systems.
Get an inside look at the latest sustainable food innovations. See how the world’s leading organizations use landscapes to solve today’s most pressing challenges. Experience the GLF Bonn Digital Conference online, from wherever you are. Join discussions with farmers, chefs, policymakers, scientists and more and immerse yourself in a learning track designed to answer your specific questions and spark your imagination. Have your voice in the joint endeavor to ‘build back better’.
