Led by Mr. Aly Abousabaa, this 'fishbowl' style event begins with experts kick-starting conversation on themes surrounding climate change and food systems in MENA, before members of the audience are invited to swap chairs with speakers to inhabit the 'inner virtual circle' and offer their expertise and informed opinion.

Speakers and audience are invited from national agriculture research centers, farmers, public and private sector, civil society, and donors, to present and discuss the viability of 'new science' innovation that breaks from business-as-usual approaches to address today's complex challenges.

Themes will include regional collaboration and knowledge sharing, water productivity, improved crops, integrated innovations, pillar industries, private-public partnerships, conserving and nurturing biodiversity and environmental health, women, and youth, and market access.

Key speakers will be confirmed soon.
