Biomin's World Nutrition Forum 2014 got underway this evening with a reception and buffet dinner for some 800 delegates from 86 countries at the impressive and purpose-built BMW World centre here in Munich, Germany.
In his opening remarks of welcome, Biomin's CEO Christian Seiwald pointed out that the food industry had to choose carefully when using the earth's limited resources.
"Do we have the resources to approach issues of health, food safety, environment and the future of the next generations? Do we have an industry today capable of being sustainable?
"Do we have the attitude to meet our obligations towards society and that of future generations. What qualifications do farmers of the future need in order to do their business sustainably?
"Indeed, do we have the power to feed the world?" Mr Seiwald said.
These and many other questions will form the basis of discussions and topics for the next two days' discussions he told his audience. He closed his brief welcome by thanking all those who were attending and particularly those who had come the furthermost to Munich.
