The University of Brasília (UnB) and Taihe Institute (TI), in partnership with the International Association for Popular Cooperation (Baobab/IAPC) and the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST), organized the "Brazil-China Forum: Milestones for a New Phase of Cooperation for Shared Development" on November 26 and 27, 2024, in Brasília, Brazil.This event followed the G20 Summit and is the result of the growing cooperation between Brazil and China to implement the Joint Statement on Jointly Building the China-Brazil Community with a Shared Future for a More Just World and a More Sustainable Planet.To follow this path of shared development between Brazil and China, industry and agriculture are key drivers, and converge strategically in scientific and technological cooperation for family farming.The forum is part of the activities of the Brazil-China Center for Family Farming, created in 2023, through the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the UnB and the China Agricultural University (CAU).Over the course of two days, experts, representatives of agrarian social movements, universities, and governments from Brazil and China met to discuss a series of crucial topics, including G20 cooperation, the role of family farming in the Global South, and efforts to combat hunger and promote rural revitalization. The talks also covered innovations in family farming's technification, mechanization, and digitalization, as well as topics of food security and agroecological transition. TI Deputy Secretaries-General Zhang Jin and Wang Yuge respectively chaired two roundtable discussions: "New Bases of Contemporary Geopolitics and Solutions for National Development in the Global South" and "Mechanization, Technification, and Digital Agriculture in Family Farming."
