Panellists assessed systemic risks and discussed steps required to shift the conversation from traditional, donor-focused debates about direct aid towards systemic agronomic approaches that work towards integrated solutions. 

A particular focus was the urgent expansion of financial resources and economic investment on climate- and conflict-sensitive approaches and a better, more strategic and horizontal conversation between industrialised and emerging countries.
