Agrinatura will hold several presentations and one pre event at GCARD 2, Punta del Este

The Second Global Conference on Agricultural Research for Development (GCARD II) will be organized in Punta del Este, Uruguay, 27 October – 1 November 2012. The GCARD II will focus on the ways to implement the tasks identified in the GCARD Road Map with special attention to foresight, capacity building and partnership for innovation and impact on small-holder livelihoods.

GCARD 2 is an important milestone to review the current state of the art and to organise stakeholders for an increased effort – and even more coordinated – to building capacities in agriculture, while reforming the institutions – to increase the relevance and the impact of TAE with regard to the stakeholders’ economic needs on the ground. The Conference should be a platform to build cooperation around key forward-looking agendas and plan joint actions among all stakeholders. This should in turn, open international partnership opportunities and help the development of concrete research and development programs that can lead through to substantive impacts.

Agrinatura will contribute to GCARD with organising one pre-event devoted to
