The Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) has officially launched a public call for proposals to select events and initiatives to be showcased at AgriZone – House of Sustainable Agriculture, during the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP30)November 10 to 21 in Belém, Pará, Brazil.

Interested parties can submit proposals from May 26 to June 23. The selected proposals will be announced on July 14. Submissions must be made through a specific online form, and queries can be directed to eventos.agrizone@embrapa.br.

AgriZone, located in the area of Embrapa Eastern Amazon, will serve as an inclusive space for dialogue and collaboration on sustainable agriculture and food security in the face of climate change. The initiative aims to bring together diverse stakeholders to exchange experiences, share knowledge, and discuss practical solutions aligned with the goals of sustainable development and climate resilience.

According to Ana Euler, Embrapa’s Executive Director of Innovation, Business and Technology Transfer, the goal of AgriZone is to promote cooperation networks — both technical-scientific and socio-technical — on a national and international scale. The space will act as a bridge connecting actors across agriculture, food systems, and climate sectors.
