Global Collaboration

Global collaboration can often provide great benefits, but unfortunately does not always happen. This week we share a short video from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations highlighting cooperation between countries to improve rice value chains. We encourage you to watch the linked video and utilize the discussion points to guide your conversations with others around the globe. 

Republic of Korea South-South Cooperation 

Discussion Points

  • The following quote is shared at the beginning of the video: "Sharing of knowledge, experiences, technologies, and resources among countries in the Global South is vital to achieve more sustainable and inclusive agri-food systems."
    • Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
    • While it mentions the Global South do you believe collaboration is needed or useful for countries not considered part of the Global South? Explain your thoughts.
  • Does your home country collaborate and share agriculture information with other countries? 
  • Do you think your home country could benefit from greater collaboration and sharing of information? Why or why not? 
  • Can you think of examples outside of agriculture when cooperation, collaboration, and sharing of knowledge between countries has improved world conditions?
