We are inviting VIPs from some of the world’s most important organisations dealing with agriculture to help us debate and answer the question. A Danish minister will attend and there will be representatives from the EU Commis - sion and the US Department of Agriculture. Top leaders from organisations such as FAO, World Bank, WTO and OECD are expected to come. The world population is growing, the middle class is growing and the de - mand for feed, food and bioenergy is growing enormously. At the same time, sustainability has become an increasingly important issue. Meeting sustain - ability goals requires innovation, new technologies, new partnerships in the value chain and new ways of collaboration. We would like to receive inputs from some of the most influential people on those issues. We expect to hear their views on how we can include the agriculture-relat - ed UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and achieve results that benefit food quality, animal welfare, biodiversity, biorefining, nature, environment, carbon footprint, food waste, etc. We expect that the VIPs will stay for questions and answers from the con - gress participants and for interviews.
