The guests at the expert panel will discuss the introduction of technologies, policies and market mechanisms in China and Germany in the use of biomass energy to foster a climate-friendly agri-food industry and global food security. Furthermore, future solutions for building climate-smart agri-food systems based on biomass energy technology will be discussed. The aim is to strengthen technical and industrial cooperation, low and zero carbon (LZC) community building and policy exchange between Germany and China in the use of biomass resources, biomass energy and renewable energy industry.
The event promotes the application of biomass energy and green transformation of agricultural production methods. It, furthermore, contributes to Sino-German co-operation in the fields of sustainable agriculture, biomass resources, biomass energy, climate-smart agri-food systems, and promotes future solutions for global climate-friendly development. The forum attempts to strengthen the collaboration between China and Germany on global food security issues. By jointly exploring and addressing issues as the use of biomass resources and food security, China and Germany can further deepen their cooperation in areas of global environmental governance and development of climate-smart agri-food systems. The global context of Sino-German cooperation on these themes is provided by a contribution from the World Resources Institute on sustainable transformation of Global Agri-Food Systems Based on Resource Recycling.
The conference languages are German, English and Chinese.
