Webinar: what will a sustainable rural community look like in 2030?

Sustainable rural economies are critical to the sustained success of global agri-businesses. After all, smallholder farming accounts for the largest share of food production worldwide. However, these farmers and their local communities lack opportunities to improve their income, food security and livelihoods. To drive resilience and safeguard supply, business must work to deliver positive social outcomes for rural communities. Leading this webinar discussion on what business can do to ensure sustainable agricultural communities, focusing in particular on palm oil supply chains, are: Anita Neville, vice president of corporate communications and sustainability relations, Golden Agri-Resources Rashyid Anwarudin, principal sustainability officer, Sime Darby Ruth Thomas, director, strategy and operations, Global Agribusiness Alliance Introduced and moderated by Ian Welsh, Innovation Forum
