The Farmer's Global Network Round-table 2024.

Dear Potato Farmers,

We are excited to invite you to the first-ever Farmer's Global Network Round Table, in partnership with Farmer's Pride International Investments and Farmer's Pride International Botswana, organized by Hunter's Global Network. The event will be held from 6 to 11 May 2024, in person at Sahara Stones Hotel, in Palapye, Botswana.

The event will gather farmers from across the world to discuss current issues in food, feed, fibre, and renewable fuel production and exports. It will also feature board executive elections, a training of trainers program, and leadership training. The Farmer's Global Network Round-table aims to facilitate a dialogue among global farmers to better understand and address the challenges of filling an increasing food and nutritional security gap.

Hunter, the founder of both FPI and Hunter’s Global Network, challenges the world’s farmers to collaborate and learn from each other by sharing their collective experiences, wisdom and knowledge. He reminds all of us that the successful revolutions of the past can be templates for our actions and a resource to maintain our morale.

In that spirit, the Farmer's Global Network Round-table & FPI-Botswana Executive Elections & Training program features a facilitated dialogue among global farmers to better understand and address the challenges of filling an increasing food and nutritional security gap.
Through dialogue and time spent together, they shall discover commonalities, share their challenges, discuss tools, technologies and strategies that can be adapted to meet these challenges and are empowered to meet the demands of feeding, clothing and fueling the world in a manner that is sustainable through shared work, message and mission.

The farmers are going to be trained with purpose – challenged to discover the power of their unique viewpoint, refine their skills to communicate their story with impact and gain a platform to expand their circle of influence in the global food challenge debate.

During this year’s event Judges shall be looking at Potato Farming... a project started last year by FPI, how it has gone, the challenges that farmers have faced, and the success stories, after a 2-day training shall be offered to the participants on Potato farming, Sunflower and Moringa.

We encourage you to attend this life-changing event, where you will be trained with purpose and challenged to discover the power of your unique viewpoint, refine your skills to communicate your story with impact and gain a platform to expand your circle of influence in the global food challenge debate. Through dialogue and time spent together, you shall discover commonalities, share your challenges, discuss tools, technologies, and strategies that can be adapted to meet these challenges and be empowered to meet the demands of feeding, clothing, and fueling the world in a manner that is sustainable through shared work, message, and mission.
