The forum brought together over 550 delegates from 54 member and observer countries, representatives of approximately 20 international and regional organizations and financial institutions, agriculture ministers, diplomats, and experts.

The goal of the conference was to discuss current challenges in food security, sustainable agriculture, rational use of natural resources, and rural development.
