CONFERENCE PERSPECTIVEAgribusiness and the allied supply chains in developing and emerging economies are facing twin challenges: first, feeding their own populations and second, the integration of their supply chains with global food markets in light of the burgeoning open international market regime. There is no denying that opportunities for agribusiness in developing and emerging countries are plenty in the global market, yet small and marginal farmers face huge challenges in harnessing these opportunities. Agribusiness in these countries plays a critical role in the livelihoods and well-being of a large segment of the population, the growth of new and established organizations, and the economic vitality of their respective economies. During the Rio 20+ summit, United Nations Security Council attracted the world’s attention towards one billion hungry people and initiated the Zero Hunger Challenge by urging all stakeholders of agricultural supply chains—governments, farmers, businesses, scientists, civil society, and consumers to work together and develop inclusive and sustainable food systems to eliminate food waste and ensure food security (United Nations, 2012). This conference aims to bring together scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and other stakeholders from around the world to present and share their original research and expertise on agribusiness in the developing and emerging economies. The conference will cover a broad spectrum of themes, methodologies, and research approaches including empirical, conceptual, review, and case studies.

ACCOMMODATION Accommodation for participants will be arranged by TERI University at different guest houses, hotels, etc., on payment basis. For more information, contact: Mr Vikas Bhati, Email: [email protected]: www.teriuniversity.ac.in/icab
