The 2nd International Agrobiodiversity Congress convenes experts, practitioners, and policymakers to showcase scientific findings and innovative nature-based solutions, policies, and practices using agrobiodiversity for the transformation and sustainability of food systems.  The Congress includes a Scientific Symposium, accompanied by Eat Grow Save Talks, a Policy-Business Forum, and an Innovation Space, which includes the Innovation Forum and the Agrobiodiversity Innovation Challenge. 

The Innovation Forum is an opportunity for actors from different ecosystems such as scientists, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and venture capitalists to meet and think up bold new solutions. 

The forum aims to foster an enabling environment for innovators to work more closely with international research and development organizations to scale up the new solutions for agricultural and food system change. The Congress will host the Agrobiodiversity Innovation Challenge and encourages innovators to submit their game-changing solutions. Prizes will be awarded to the most promising new solutions.
