In October 2024, the head of the Department of Management named after Professor J. S. Zavadskyi Tatiana Balanovska took part in a professional and informative trip to the city of Rome (Italy), organized by the political project "German-Ukrainian agropolitical dialogue" with the support of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine and the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture of Germany, to participate in the II Forum "Transformation of the food system in Ukraine – prospects for long-term sustainable development", which took place on October 15 at the headquarters of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The Ukrainian delegation was headed by the Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Oksana Osmachko. The event was moderated by Mariia Yaroshko, head of the "German-Ukrainian agropolitical dialogue" project.
The participants of the Forum were representatives of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine, non-governmental organizations and agrarian associations, the committee of agribusiness entrepreneurs of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Ukraine, the National Research Center "Institute of Agrarian Economy", the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, the State University "Scientific and Methodological Center of Higher and Professional Pre-Higher Education", territorial communities of Ukraine.
The main topics of discussion at the Forum were: modern trends in the development of food systems in the world; the current state of development of the food system in Ukraine; the food system in Ukraine in the context of European integration; the role of state institutions, agribusiness, civil society, science and education in the transformation of food systems – recommendations for Ukraine. Reports at the Forum caused a lively discussion and numerical questions.
October 16, 2024 The Ukrainian delegation took part in the World Food Day organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). This year's theme, "The Right to Food for a Better Life and a Better Future", is of particular importance to Ukraine, where the ongoing war continues to threaten food security and destroy the environment.
The program of the professional and informative trip was very interesting and rich. We would like to express our gratitude to the team of the "German-Ukrainian agropolitical dialogue" project, in particular to the project manager Mariia Yaroshko, for the high level of preparation of the professional and informational trip.
