GCARD was created to link science and society and bring greater development benefit from agricultural research and innovation. Following on from a successful GCARD1 (2010) and GCARD2 (2012), the third of the GCARD dialogues, GCARD3, is a conversation that is taking place around the world about the future of agri-food research and innovation – nationally, regionally and globally. GCARD3 is jointly organized by the Global Forum for Agricultural Research (GFAR) and CGIAR and the GCARD3 Global Event is being hosted by the Agricultural Research Council (South Africa).
“No One Left Behind: Agri-food Innovation and Research for a Sustainable World” is the theme of the GCARD3 global event and it promises to be exciting and inspiring event, with an influential line-up of keynote speakers, workshops and breakout sessions. A major outcome of the conference will be the GCARD3 Pledge to Sustainable Development, in which GCARD stakeholders will identify and commit to collective actions to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Like the GCARD1 Road Map, it will provide a touchstone for partners across public, private, and civil society sectors in developing their agri-food research and innovations programs and activities to 2030.
