The city of Bandung will host the International Conference on Food Security titled Urban 20, 3-4 August. Urban 20 is a meeting of world city leaders to discuss urban issues, including food security issues. This event is part of the agenda of the Indonesian G20 Presidency.
Head of the Bandung City Food and Agriculture Security Agency, Gin Gin Ginanjar, said that the City of Bandung was chosen as the host because it was considered successful in building the concept of independent food security through the SAE Buruan program.
"This food issue is on the G20 agenda. We are given the opportunity to hold an international agenda on 3-4 August 2022," said Gin Gin.
"This SAE hunt has also become the attention of our friends from abroad, as an independent food security concept," he added.
Urban 20 this time took the theme of increasing urban food security and creating future work through urban farming based on culture and technology.
The forum tries to formulate ideas and solutions regarding the issue of Food Security which will be discussed at the G20 Presidency.
"The output of this activity will be input for discussions at the G20," he said.
The first day, August 3, 2022, an international conference will be held featuring various international speakers at the Amts Geise Auditorium, Parahyangan University, Bandung City.
