  1. Global challenges and opportunities for digital transformation of agriculture
  2. Share best practices around open access agriculture data platform
  3. Share new and emerging technologies in agriculture & food processing

As India assumes the G20 presidency, it has a huge opportunity to call on the global leadership to foster international cooperation in prioritizing and integrating “Food System Transformation” as an area in the G20 mandate.  This will require G20 nations to come together on the need to find ways to transform the food system globally and move from ideas to implementation. As the B20 secretariat, CII proposes to organize and facilitate a Global Dialogue on “Food Systems Transformation” in March 2023. The objective will be to
