European Conference"Biodiversity in Food Supply Chains"

On November 13 & 14, 2024, we hosted a transformative event in Berlin dedicated to the crucial role of biodiversity in the global food supply chain. This conference spotlighted innovative approaches and best practices for protecting biodiversity while building sustainable and resilient food systems. Attendees engaged with exciting presentations from leading experts in industry, politics, and science, participated in interactive workshops, and networked with professionals from across Europe.
