Anchored by its annual international conference and supported by year-round engagement mechanisms, WAFI accelerates agrifood systems transformation by fostering dialogue and collaboration among governments, industry, academia, research institutions, and practitioners. Together, these stakeholders address pressing global challenges, including food security, climate change, and sustainable development. WAFI is committed to shaping a healthy, resilient, inclusive, and sustainable agrifood future, providing global innovators with a practical, long-term, and open platform for collaboration.

The conference will feature an opening ceremony, parallel sessions, thematic forums, meetings, side events, innovation shows, and an expo, offering a diverse range of activities in various formats.

WAFI 2026 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 2026 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.
