SUMMARY:World Water Week 2021
DESCRIPTION:World Water Week is the leading conference on global water issues and in 2021 it will be held as a digital event 23-27 August. The Week attracts participants from more than 130 countries and with many different professional backgrounds. World Water Week is a non-profit event\, co-created together with leading organizations. It offers an unusual mix of participants and perspectives\, with sessions on a broad array of water-related topics\, ranging from food security and health to agriculture\, technology\, biodiversity\, and the climate crisis. \nWith a focus on collaboration and shared learning\, World Water Week is an important catalyst for change and attracts leading researchers\, decision-makers\, business representatives\, NGOs\, students\, and international organizations. We try to create a welcoming and informal atmosphere where it is easy to get to know people and collaborate on solving real-world problems. The Week attracts many decision-makers who come here to get new inspiration and form alliances that can influence other international processes such as the global climate talks.  Registration is required.  \nClick here for registration. \nPosted from SIWI World Water Week Website.

SUMMARY:The Political Economy of Food System Industrialization: Argo-processing\, Industrial Policy and Inclusive Development
DESCRIPTION:The conference addresses critical issues in food systems in Africa drawing\, in particular\, on the IIAP project in South Africa and Tanzania. This online event examines food system industrialization in Africa. Food systems are undergoing rapid change due to urbanization\, shifts in consumer demands for more highly processed foods\, and technological changes along value chains. These patterns are driving the expansion of agro-processing\, the value-adding activities between harvest and retail. The conference is hosted by the Innovation and Inclusive Industrialisation in Agro-processing research project. \nFood system industrialization is often assumed to provide opportunities for small\, rural firms and marginalized groups in a process of ‘inclusive’ industrialization. However\, there are forces including technological change\, scale economies\, and the application of standards which have often underpinned greater concentration and vertical integration in value chains with the expansion of large firms such as multinational food manufacturing conglomerates and supermarket chains. Even what would conventionally be seen as ‘fresh’ produce requires increasingly sophisticated industrial-style processes between farmers and end consumers. These trends are typically referred to as the industrialization of food\, a process that creates formidable challenges for small enterprises and marginalized producers. \nThe issues concerning inclusion in and control of the food system are political as well as economic\, in particular concerning the role of government policies in shaping trajectories of change and the complex inter-relations between states and powerful interest groups in the production of food. The conference will present original research on Tanzania\, South Africa\, and other African countries\, and draw out wider policy implications. The contrastive comparative approach provides deep insights into how differing historical and institutional factors shape the evolution of food systems and the prospects for inclusive growth. The conference will promote reflections on a range of related political economy issues related to food systems industrialization including contrasts between distinct types of market economies\, the role of power and institutions\, competition policy as well as industrial and agricultural policies. These features are crucial for shaping more inclusive development trajectories as well as responding to the climate emergency challenges. \nClick here to register. \nOriginally posted.
