The thematic sessions will be held in parallel in the morning and will cover: sustainable investment in support of agrifood; research and innovation for smarter policies and technologies; climate resilience of agri-food systems; and regional trade integration. AU and EU Ministers of Agriculture, together with representatives of other international organizations will convene in the afternoon plenary session to take stock of the thematic discussions and pave the way for the future cooperation.
