Win More, Lose Less: Capturing Synergies Between SDGs Through Agricultural Research

October 10 to 12, 2018

  • 9:00 – 3:00 pm (Africa/Johannesburg)
  • 3:00 – 9:00 am (US/Eastern)

IFPRI is participating in Science Forum 2018 (SF18), which takes place October 10-12, 2018 in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

The objective of SF18 is to identify substantial interactions between the Sustainable Development Goals (both positive and negative), the role of agricultural research in augmenting synergies and managing trade-offs, and the ensuing implications for the science policy interface. SF18 will explore three key topics, in addition to a cross-cutting topic on strengthening the science-policy interface, and background papers have been commissioned to set the scene and guide forum discussions.
