The Food & Finance Conference

A business and investment opportunity to you which can mean life or death to someone else.

What could the financial sector be doing to increase global food security? This is the question which drives the Euromoney Food & Finance Conference.

We have brought together a group of sovereign agencies who have been mandated and funded to develop food security for their nations – they need innovative financial structures, cross-border investment advice, risk quantification, risk transfer, price and market modelling and much much more. This is both a global challenge and a real opportunity for financial services.

At a time when the financial sector is under pressure to play a positive role in solving global challenges we have brought together key parts of the emerging global food security community for one day in London in May. We have senior sovereign representatives from the UK, Abu Dhabi, France and Qatar already joining us to devise actionable ways in which the global financial sector can act constructively and profitably to manage risk, provide liquidity and encourage cooperation. This is our contribution.

Now we ask you, the financiers, to join us – and to play your part.

Speakers confirmed to date include:
Juergen Voegele, Director of Agriculture, World Bank
Pierre Jacquet, Chief Economist, Agence Française de Développement
Stefan Dercon, Chief Economist, Department for International Development
Kathleen Merrigan, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, United States Government
His Excellency Rashid Mohamed Al Shariqi, Director General, Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority
This conference is the first step in a series of initiatives by Euromoney to develop this vital market. We are already planning a second event in Asia as well as a variety of projects designed to bring the market together and be catalytic in its growth. This is your chance to get in at the start and be part of how the market evolves.
