| Summary: | On June 25-26, 2018, over 50 participants representing public and private sector institutions, international organizations, and academia gathered at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) headquarters in Washington, D.C. to discuss the priorities and strategic vision for a new research program on Food Industries for People and Planet (FIPP).
