Reflections from the conference
From soil to solidarity
Now it has been one month since Agri4D 2025, and we have had some time to reflect and land in what we learned and how we can continue forward with our new knowledge and networks. SLU's brilliant Master's student Loukas has given their reflection on new perspectives, how to build new knowledge based on old experience and how different opinions can lead to a sustainable future.
Reflect, connect, and express with seeds
"The Agri4D Conference took place this year at SLU.

Objective and reflections
Agri4D objective
The objective of Agri4D 2025 is to discuss science that can contribute to evidence-based policy and practice needed to transform global food systems and contribute to the sustainable development goals.
