Best of ORFC Global

ORFC Global Programme Manager Francesca Price looks back on the conference and highlights some of the sessions that really stood out for watchers

Thank you to everyone who spoke at or attended ORFC Global in January. It was an incredible event which saw our normally small team grow to over 100 people by the start of the conference, as we facilitated 500 + speakers, across 18 different time zones, in seven languages.

Over the seven days we were delighted to be joined by 5,317 delegates from 125 countries, including Iran, Albania, Bhutan and North Korea!

We were also very grateful to our partners and allies who worked with us to offer an incredibly diverse programme where farmers from around the world joined activists, policymakers, indigenous leaders, scientists and many more to discuss the best way to transition to a global agroecological food system.

There are too many great moments to single out – and so much that people are still catching up on, but I’ve highlighted some of the most popular keynote speeches below.
