IFAMA

Opportunity for students and young professionals! As part of the IFAMA Young Board, I’m supporting the latest IFAMA Global Venture Business Challenge, being hosted in Mid-November.   The competition format is simple – all online, find a team of 2-4, read an exciting agri-case, and create a pitch video in four hours, for the chance to win big cash prizes, and a world championship!   All competitors get a participation certificate, access to exclusive tools, and the chance to access an international network of specialists and executives.   The registration fee has been heavily subsidised, and total numbers are limited – so first-in, first-served if you’d like the chance to compete.   Further details and registration can be found below:   https://lnkd.in/d67-r2gH   IFAMA

The Agrifood Management Programme for Strategic Thinking (STAMP) is an AGMARDT (The Agricultural and Marketing Research and Development Trust) funded project that expedites the growth of #skills and enhances sector knowledge among our aspiring #agrifood leaders, empowering them to effectively apply these capabilities. STAMP is organized by FoodHQ, with academic support from Massey University. Ten of our STAMP participants will be participating in the upcoming IFAMA 2024 World Conference agribusiness-specific Global Student Case Competition — the only one of its kind globally — providing students and their universities a world stage to showcase future #primarysector leaders. This year our participants will be heading off to the beautiful Almería, in Southern Spain, (17-20 June). As we head towards the event we will be show-casing some of our outstanding STAMP participants. Introducing Katie Henderson and her remarkable journey within our cohort. As I am in my second year of the STAMP programme, this year I am hoping to further develop my #casestudy analysis skills and network with new members joining the cohort. As a PhD candidate at the The University of Auckland, STAMP allows me to step outside my comfort zone and challenge my thinking. I particularly like that we focus on ‘real-world’ #agrifood problems that I might not otherwise look at. This year I also have the privilege of attending the IFAMA Conference taking place in Spain. I hope my team can take out first place in the Case Competition after placing third in the graduate category last year. I am excited to take part in the EU agri-food innovation field trip after the conference, during which I hope to create international connections and bring home new ideas.

NGIN Talk is back! Join David Spencer and the NGINeers in an exciting public talk about “How to Communicate Science to a Broad Audience?!” Register HERE: https://lnkd.in/dyNHWyWN Clear and simple communication of scientific content is key to public acceptance and engagement. Especially plant research is prone to misinformation, as the methods to explore the natural world get more precise and technological. In this NGIN Talk, plant biotechnologist and science communicator Dr. David Spencer introduces an arsenal of creative formats to make our research more accessible. Or as David puts it: “Evidence is our best weapon against populism!” #science2seed #NGINeers #agvocacy #scicom Bayer Climate Smart Agriculture Youth Network (CSAYN) Generation Africa IAAS (International Association of Students in Agricultural and Related Sciences) I4NATURE Instituto Interamericano de Cooperación para la Agricultura (IICA) IFAMA NUFFIELD INTERNATIONAL FARMING SCHOLARSHIPS SDSN Youth Alliance 4 Zero Hunger ELFIN Consulting GmbH Industry Disruptors - Game Changers Thought For Food Wikifarmer World Food Forum

Dinner discussion in Beijing with the China Agriculture University MBA director Prof. Fu & Chief editor of the IFAMA’s Journal Prof.Kevin Chen . #agriculture #food #business #economics #technology #sustainability #china

How should the boards of major agribusiness organisation's strike a balance between prioritising profits, food security, and environmental sustainability? Why are there differences between the EU and USA responses to global ESG trends? And, what can someone do to best equip themselves for a successful Governance position? We explored these questions and more in a 60-minute video podcast episode, as I facilitated the first of the IFAMA Food Matters series. We had some words of wisdom, some disagreements, and some good laughs with the star-studded panel Damien McLoughlin, Juan Gabriel Aguiriano Nalda and Mary Shelman You can watch or listen to the recording on the link below: https://lnkd.in/e5Py_v25 IFAMA Global Network #Governance #Sustainability #Nature #Climatechange
