The food sector is rich in its ability to create and expand enterprise opportunities for refugees while stimulating business development in host communities. With fewer barriers to entry, the food sector offers refugees a chance for building new skills and livelihoods. The speakers each bring unique experience working with food, entrepreneurship and diplomacy. They will highlight the current work being done to use food as a bridge between communities, and create economic opportunities for all.
