Synergos-AgMIP Introductory Meeting

AgMIP community members, including representatives from AgMIP’s Executive Committee, Leaders Forum, and Coordination Unit, participated in a hybrid meeting with staff members from Synergos, a global organization that empowers leaders to solve present and future issues in poverty, social injustice, and climate change. The meeting took place at AgMIP Headquarters on Columbia University’s campus in New York City, U.S.A. 

Synergos has established country and regional programs in Bangladesh, Brazil, Ethiopia, Nigeria, South Africa, and the Middle East. Synergos staff members present at the May 17th meeting provided further information on their respective projects, including the Ethiopia and Nigeria country programs. AgMIP representatives provided an overview of the AgMIP mission and shared recent success stories of the Vision for Adapted Crops and Soils (VACS) work, which launched in February of 2023.

AgMIP is grateful to have had the opportunity to learn about the many shared interests and overlap between Synergos and AgMIP and is looking forward to collaborating with Synergos in any future opportunities that arise.
