Wheat is a strategic commodity and major source of calorie for Egyptians. About half of this wheat demand is satisfied through imports and recurring shocks, including the recent Russian-Ukraine crisis, continue to affect wheat trade and supply chains. These recurring global shocks necessitate immediate and longer-term responses to ensure sustainable and healthy diets and food systems. This event contributes to this broader objective.<br \/>\nThis two-day event was divided into successive sessions across the following four themes:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Wheat production: <\/strong>This session discussed wheat production potential and constraints. This will address improved breeding technologies to enhance wheat varieties.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trade dynamics:<\/strong> This session paid a closer look at external and internal wheat trade dynamics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consumption patterns<\/strong>: This session addressed wheat consumption patterns in Egypt and the subsidy policy landscape.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Policy recommendations and way forward: <\/strong>A review of some of the proposed research gaps and interventions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #008000;\">See photo album<\/span><\/h6>\n<p><a title=\"National Wheat Day, February 13 &amp;
