The World AgriFood Innovation (WAFI) Conference is a global agricultural event dedicated to "Innovating Agriculture, Sharing Future". WAFI focuses on promoting cutting-edge innovation in global agrifood system transformation, fostering in-depth industry/academic/research interaction, and enhancing international exchange and cooperation. With a forward-looking, pioneering and future-oriented approach, WAFI aspires to become the "Davos of Agriculture". Since the successful hosting of WAFI 2023, it has received high recognition from domestic and international colleagues and is now considered as one of the top three agricultural events in the world.
WAFI 2024 will be held in Pinggu, Beijing, China, from 10 to 12 October 2024. The theme of this year's conference is "Climate Change and Agrifood Systems Transformation". It will feature a variety of concurrent events, including the Opening Ceremony, Main Forums, Stakeholder Forums, Parallel Sessions, Side Events and the WAFI Expo.
WAFI 2024 will continue to invite delegates from the scientific, educational and business communities that influence global agricultural development, as well as representatives from governments, international and regional organisations, business associations, investment and financing institutions. Together, we will discuss cutting-edge issues in global agri-food innovation, share achievements, strengthen industry-academia-research synergies, promote innovation in agricultural technologies, policies and models worldwide, create new momentum for global agricultural development, and build the "Agriculture Davos".
The 2024 WAFI Expo, held concurrently with the conference, will showcase frontier achievements, cutting-edge technologies, advanced models, high-value projects and innovative products in the global agri-food sector. It aims to create a representative and iconic professional exhibition in the global agrifood sector, providing a world-class platform for showcasing global agricultural science and technology, sharing and exchanging, promoting investment and cooperation.
