News published:  09/09/2025

The world is facing major challenges in achieving the SDGs by 2030. The importance of food systems is central. The Agri4D conference is a creative meeting place for actors working for a sustainable future. This year's theme is ”Nurturing regenerative food systems in a changing climate”.

On 23-25 September, the conference Agri4D 2025 will take place at SLU in Uppsala and online. More than 400 people from several different countries are registered to attend. The participants are researchers, politicians, practitioners, financiers and other stakeholders. For three days, they can choose from up to 31 sessions and lectures about the development of sustainable food systems in low-income contexts.

“To ensure that global food systems become more sustainable and capable of providing sufficient and nutritious food for all, significant changes are essential. A clear systems perspective is needed—one that integrates social, economic, and environmental factors—and addresses both production and consumption at local, national, and global levels. Agri4D serves as a platform to share current knowledge and foster new collaborations.", says Ylva Hillbur, Pro Vice-Chancellor for international relations, SLU.
