The world's top five agri-universities who call themselves A5, have agreed
to fight hunger together. University of California Davis, Cornell
University, China Agricultural University, University of Sao Paulo, and
Wageningen University & Research have agreed to work together in achieving
zero hunger. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals include
eradicating hunger in the world by 2030.
The A5 met during the international SDG Conference, held in Wageningen on
August 30-31, 2018. They will first focus on education with a special role
for students and staff exchange and work together on research. The five
universities have agreed to cooperate in developing new educational and
research programs to transform food systems. To do this, they will empower
students and educate the new leaders of tomorrow. The universities also want
to stimulate the exchange of students and staff members to increase their
knowledge.
