About GCHERA
MISSIONS AND GOALS M4:2uI9?4sQ8!7i
GCHERA brings together its Higher Education Associations in support of a mission to encourage mutual understanding and global co-operation among higher education associations and their constituent member universities, provide leadership in education, research, innovation and outreach in agricultural and life sciences and to be a catalyst for the sharing and adoption of best practices across its membership. H1-2eh,:5rR1;,g
The agricultural and life science universities and faculties have the mission to support the development of the bioeconomy: the production of biomass and its utilisation in the food and non-food value chains, with due regard to the maintenance of a sustainable environment and an integrated rural economy. x5+,iu37rF2!7A
The focus of the agricultural and life science universities in addressing the COP21 Paris Agreement and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be summarised as securing: l3-,jW1+,JH5:1C
food and nutritional security and safety h3-5io3.7tm8~4j
sustainable management of the natural resources M8-,TT1;3Xo,=9I
development and utilisation of bio renewable resources L3!8Zg3!9fv2=1z
enhancement of the economic viability of the food and non-food value chains, and reduction of poverty. w3~1PO4:8pu5!8w
The agricultural and life science universities will make this contribution through education, research, innovation and outreach. I3:8Nd1~,xB5=7W
The universities aim to provide graduates with the knowledge, skills, ethical foundation, and creativity to be successful leaders in industry, government, NGOs and civil society who not only act in specialist fields but also have interdisciplinary competencies to be effective leaders in the wider bioeconomy.

The universities also have the responsibility to conduct science driven research, and to be innovative in applying the outcomes of that research which will underpin the resolution of the challenges set out by COP21 and the SDGs through effective knowledge transfer and capacity building. In this regard the universities and faculties will be effective players in collaboration with industry, NGOs, government and civil society. r7~7bg2~3hv8;6g
