The 2035 Challenge: Reducing agricultural greenhouse gas emissions The Summit is not shying away from the greatest challenge that the region's agriculture sector faces; it's significant contribution to GHG's through livestock methane emissions. These sessions look at some of the emerging growing systems, technologies and tools being developed to reduce these GHG's. This is one session not to miss. It's a key element of the Summit's purpose. Supporting farmers and growers address and reduce their GHG's. |

Empowering our farmers to adopt new ways of sustainable agricultural production Working in partnership with Farmers Weekly, we are planning to showcase farmers and growers who are adopting new growing methods to move towards a carbon-neutral future which is not only good for the environment but is also generating increased financial returns as global consumers demand (and pay for) product with a reduced carbon footprint. |

Taking decisive action to preserve and conserve our oceans The region is called Oceania for a good reason. Yet did you know, as the planet’s greatest carbon sink, the ocean absorbs excess heat and energy released from rising greenhouse gas emissions trapped in the Earth’s system? Today, the ocean has absorbed about 90 percent of the heat generated by rising emissions. As the excessive heat and energy warms the ocean, the change in temperature leads to unparalleled cascading effects, including ice-melting, sea-level rise, marine heatwaves, and ocean acidification. This impacts on everything we grow and affects coastal communities across our region. Nigel & Bren will discuss opportunities & strategies we can leverage to help address this significant challenge. |

Voice of the Customer OK. So New Zealand & Australia produce great, premium food. Time then to listen to the other end of the supply chain and their 'sustainability programmes' going forward. What will the likes of Tesco be looking for 3-5 years from now and will the term 'premium' include significant reference to a product's carbon footprint? Yet another 'must see' session. |

Addressing Food Waste How many times have you heard that we need to increase food production by 40% to feed the world's population in 2050? Against the backdrop of our changing climate? How about flipping the coin? What can we do to reduce the current 30% of food production that is not being consumed. Reducing food waste and the importance of the circular economy lie at the heart of this session. By 2050, the reality is that hundreds of millions of lives will depend on it. |

What's Next? Where to from here? We are thrilled to be joined by the California Department of Food & Agriculture Secretary, Karen Ross, and NZ Minister of Agriculture, Damien O'Connor. This session will talk about 2023 and specifically how our region's agrifood sector can engage more closely with California as we collectively address the increasing challenges created by climate change. The final session will be introduced by Professor Mark Howden, Vice Chair of the IPCC Working Group 2. The reality, but also the opportunities we face, will be an appropriate way to close two huge days of conversations we just have to have. |
