We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall.

Her unwavering dedication to conservation, animal welfare and the interconnectedness of all life has left an indelible mark on the world.

Through the Jane Goodall Institute and her global youth program, Roots & Shoots, she inspired generations of young people to take action for people, animals and the environment — planting seeds of hope and change in communities across the globe.

At the Forum for the Future of Agriculture, we were honoured to welcome Dr. Goodall as an inspirational speaker in 2023. Her words were not only profoundly moving but served as a powerful call to action for all of us working toward a more sustainable and compassionate future.

Her legacy will continue to inspire for generations to come.

Our thoughts are with her family, her colleagues at the Jane Goodall Institute and the countless people whose lives she touched.

Janez Potočnik, Chair of the Forum for the Future of Agriculture, shared:

“We have lost one of the greatest advocates for a sustainable and compassionate world, truly a sad day, but her legacy will continue through future generations.”
