The 3rd Global Food and Agriculture Sustainability Symposium, organized by the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC), took place from June 10th to 12th, 2024, in Ho Chi Minh City.
As the world grapples with climate change and economic fluctuations, the demand for sustainable solutions in food and agriculture has never been more pressing. The symposium aimed to bring together industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers to chart a collaborative path toward a more sustainable future.
Previous symposiums have explored topics ranging from the application of technology in sustainable food production to the pursuit of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Building on the success of these events, this year's symposium focused on "Navigating a Changing Landscape: Harmonizing Standards to Enhance Sustainability Impacts," serving as a call to action for stakeholders to share knowledge, forge partnerships, and drive progress.
