The 2024 World Agricultural Innovation Conference was held in PingZhuang, Beijing from October 10 to 12. The theme of this year's conference is "Climate Change and Transformation of Agricultural and Food Systems". David Nabarro, former Special Envoy of the United Nations Secretary-General on Food Security and winner of the 2018 World Food Prize, accepted an interview with the reporter of 21st Century Business Report at the scene.

David Nabarro pointed out that agriculture is greatly affected by climate change, and the agricultural and food system is very complex. The overall system must adapt to changes in factors such as water sources and temperature. The transformation of the agricultural and food system requires joint efforts from all stakeholders and relies on science and clear policy formulation. In this way, farmers can adapt to and cope with the challenges brought by climate change, and the impact of agricultural production activities on the climate will be reduced. "In summary, the agricultural and food system is adapting to climate change while playing a crucial role in mitigating climate change."
