About Urban Agri World Summit 2026
Transforming the COP30 Vision into Urban Reality
In the wake of COP30, the global mandate is clear: Food systems must evolve or they will fail.
As the global community reflects on the landmark Belém Declaration and the “Nature and Food COP,” the 7th Urban Agri World Summit (UAW 2026) aims to accelerate the adoption of resource-efficient food production where it is needed most — in the heart of our urban centers. Hosted in South Africa, the Summit convenes global innovators, policymakers, growers, agri food solution providers and investors to operationalize the COP30 mandate: Building food systems that are not only climate-resilient but central to urban economic growth.
From scaling AI-driven precision farming to unlocking inclusive climate finance for small-scale urban growers, we are moving beyond pledges to practice. In a year defined by the “International Year of the Woman Farmer” and the integration of food into national climate targets, the Urban Agri World Summit is where the future of resilient, sustainable, and tech-forward urban agriculture is forged. Join us as we harness the momentum of COP30 to feed the cities of tomorrow.
UAW 2026 dives deep into the “Climate-Smart” tech stack, featuring the latest breakthroughs in automated hydroponic systems, controlled-environment vertical farming (CEA), and AI-driven nutrient management. These aren’t just farming tools, they are the pillars of urban resilience designed to minimize water use and eliminate supply chain emissions. Join us as we showcase the scalable, tech-forward innovations that are transforming cities from passive consumers into productive, self-sustaining ecosystems.
Join us at UAW 2026 as we deliberate on emerging technologies to unlock the potential for agriculture, growing agri food capacity, security and resilience globally and in Africa in particular.
