The 2016 issue of the meeting of Global Leaders in Agricultural Science (GLAST) took place in Lingshui/Hainan (PRC) from December 13-15, 2016.

Organized by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science and supported by FAO and CGIAR, the conference attracted 100s of decision makers in agricultural science from all over the world.

The GODAN Secretariat chaired the plenary session with contributions from country representatives and had a booth with the latest GODAN publications.

The delegates released the Lingshui declaration which states  "Efforts should be made to share data, information, knowledge, and skills to enhance application-oriented agricultural R&D; and to promote extension and rural services in those regions". 

There is no progress in agricultural science without open data.
