Emily Rees, presidenta y directora ejecutiva de CropLife International, fue designada copresidenta del B20
CropLife International has announced the appointment of its President and CEO, Emily Rees, to the role of B20 Sustainable Food Systems & Agriculture Taskforce co-Chair under the South African Presidency of the G20. The Taskforce will provide the G20 Agriculture Ministers with strategic recommendations for endorsement by Heads of State in November, furthering its stated purpose of promoting sustainable agricultural practices, enhancing supply chain resilience, and ensuring equitable access to nutritious food.
Building upon the work of the Brazilian Presidency last year, the South African G20 in 2025 will continue to emphasize the food security imperative as it fosters global cooperation to address the world’s most pressing challenges. The promotion of sustainable productivity growth through access to and adoption of new technologies is central to CropLife International’s purpose as it represents the businesses at the forefront of R&D in agriculture and plant-science, and as such the Association is aptly placed to once again make a meaningful contribution to the Taskforce’s work.
Commenting upon her appointment, Emily Rees said “At a time when the fragility of our environment and geopolitical systems alike becomes ever more pressing, CropLife International is honored to once again bring both its expertise and unswerving commitment to bear in the Taskforce’s work. Last year, under the able representation of our Chairman Livio Tedeschi as co-Chair, we saw the role of sustainable agricultural productivity in fostering resilient food systems as a central theme. This year, we have the opportunity to turn this declaration of intent into a catalyst for progress. I look forward to serving the Taskforce in driving tangible and implementable outcomes to improve food security and build more resilient food supply chains.”
