P4G aims to bring together government, business, and civil society organisations to develop innovative and concrete public-private partnerships at scale to accelerate the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. After the launch in Copenhagen in 2018, the P4G Summit arrives in Seoul this May.

Meet and network among global leaders and innovators seeking breakthrough solutions for green sustainable growth. Develop partnerships with stakeholders from all around the world in order to advance solutions that help meet humanity’s greatest needs in five areas: food and agriculture, water, energy, cities and circular economy.

The P4G event will be held from the 30-31 May and will include multiple sessions surrounding food and agriculture. The goal is to develop partnerships while enhancing effective cooperation in the agriculture and food sector, by facilitating discussions and lay the foundation for the development of new and innovative public-private partnerships. It is essential to ensure long-term food security and improve nutrition by producing and supplying quality food for everyone while enhancing the productivity and profitability of farmers and adopting and spreading environmentally-friendly production, supply and consumption systems.

Denmark is ready for the P4G Summit in Seoul

Leading up the main event on 30-31 May, a week of engaging talks and discussions is set to spur action and new partnerships.

Denmark invites you to join the dialogue by participating in Danish-led side events:

• 25 May: In less than ten years from now, more than 8 billion people will demand safe, healthy and nutritious food. As food production accounts for 24% of the world’s CO2 emissions, feeding the growing population is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century.  Join Food Nations side event “Steering the green transformation in farming and food – Innovative technology as a key driver” here with opening remarks from HRH Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Food Nations patron.
• 25 May: How can the Green Restart and the Korean New Deal help economies recover while accelerating the journey towards net-zero emission? At this showcase, we look at how governments and the private sector are working to build smarter, more energy-efficient commercial buildings while enabling growth and climate action. Sign up here. The event is organised by Danfoss.
• 26 May: Join this GREEN INSIGHT where South Korea and Denmark will share knowledge, solutions and challenges towards carbon neutrality. High-level speakers from both countries will present climate plans and ambitions based on partnerships towards a greener future. Sign up here. The event is organised by State of Green.

Why join?

Join the event at Food Nations Global Food Talk to gain knowledge on game-changing solutions, scalable actions and partnership models for sustainable development, be inspired by international stakeholders focusing on how to ensure global food security and become motivated to take action towards sustainable development.

Global Food Talk is a part of World Food Safety Day 2021

The UN General Assembly proclaimed in 2018 that every year June 7 would be “World Food Safety Day”. It is thus an annual event that aims to raise awareness and inspire to help prevent, detect and manage foodborne risks, contributing to food security, human health, economic prosperity, market access and sustainable development.

Join Food Nation’s first Global Food Talk “Steering the green transformation in farming and food – Innovative technology as a key driver” on May 25, 1.00-2.00 pm CEST with opening speech from Food Nations patron, His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark livestreamed from Food Nations Visitor Centre.

In less than ten years, 10 billion people will demand safe, healthy and nutritious food. With scarce resources providing enough food to feed the growing world population is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), food production accounts for 24% of the world’s CO2 emissions. The agriculture and food industry, therefore, has to work closely together to find solutions to reach this future – and at the same time reach the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.

New technology and innovative solutions are some of the motors that can drive the green transition. Today it is possible to find examples of technological ingenuity that reduce water and energy consumption, cut carbon emissions and maximize raw material utilisation. Also, digital technology can be the next frontier for sustainable food production like robots, predictive maintenance for smarts food processes and GPS and drone technology for crop management.

The key question to which we are seeking answers is therefore:
How can innovative technology and solutions contribute to ensuring sustainable agriculture and food production?

Join Food Nation’s Circular City Week webinar and learn more about the Danish app ‘Too Good To Go’s journey into the American market.

About this Event

When food is lost or wasted, it’s not only the end product that is wasted, but also all the resources that went into producing the food. Globally, one third of all food is lost or wasted. This equals 1.6 billion tons of food and a worth of approximately $1.2 trillion according to a Boston Consulting Group report from 2018.

63.3 million meals saved

Reducing food loss and waste is therefore not only a necessary step towards sustainable development, but also a good business model. Since the Danish start-up company Too Good To Go launched its app in 2016, 63.3 million meals from 76,595 cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries, hotels and more has already been saved by more than 33.3 million users all over the world.

Too Good To Go entering the American market

Food Nation invites you to join our talk where you will hear about Too Good To Go’s food waste mission entering the American market in November 2020 and the future plans for their expansion and how they every day are working towards a planet with no food waste.

Speakers

• Gaeleen Quinn, East Coast Director, Too Good To Go
