The institutions and the entities involved in the organization of the Summit agree that both continents face common challenges and that the promotion of mutual collaboration and the exchange of experiences will accelerate positive transformations in their agri-food systems, making them more productive, sustainable and resilient.

The Director General of IICA participated in a dialogue with members of the Wilson Center’s Latin American Program. They agreed on the need for greater investment in science, technology and innovation in agriculture, with active participation by the private sector.
