Webinar co-organised by CIMMYT, US State Department, FAO and GAIN The sustainability of crops supported under VACS depends on an ecosystem of mutually supportive research, policy, production and effective demand to promote roll out and consumption of the opportunity crops. VACS has mobilised extensive policy support and significant new financing for research and crop development, and the VACS-BD work will build on this by developing customer demand for the crops: closing the circle of "if the farmer grows, who will buy?" Speakers include: - Dr Cary Fowler, Special Envoy for Global Food Security, US Department of State; - Dr Prasanna Boddupalli, Distinguished Scientist and Regional Director for Asia at CIMMYT and CGIAR VACS Technical Representative/Bharat Bangari, Lead, Nutrient Enriched Crops, GAIN; - Dr Lynnette Neufeld, Director of Food and Nutrition Division, FAO; - Bharat Bangari, Lead, Nutrient Enriched Crops, GAIN - Dr Lawrence Haddad, Executive Director, GAIN.
