Centered around the idea that agricultural knowledge and innovation are the key factors in alleviating the global problems that face the world's poor; the Fifth International Reunion of FORAGRO from 31 July to 1 August 2008 brought together constituencies from around the world to speak about how to better address these pressing global issues.
Participants called on costituencies at every level to form renewed partnerships, which should follow a set of objectives set forth in the “Declaration of Montevideo 2008.”
While focusing on the theme of innovation, the Declaration vows to counteract the effects of climate change on agriculture through technological innovation; encourage institutions at every level to promote the use of research,knowledge-sharing and scientific modernization; and improve food stability and development of nations by promoting sustainable agriculture.
Some of the topics which the participant considered to be of the highest global importance included conservation and use of genetic resources, adaptation to climate change with a focus on soil and water, further increased technological innovations, and the development and safe use of new agricultural biotechnologies.
