Round table discussion: Developing sustainable food systems

As the global population grows from 7 billion in 2010 to a projected 9.8 billion in 2050, and incomes grow across the developing world, overall food demand is on course to increase by more than 50 percent, and demand for animal-based foods by nearly 70 percent. Yet today, hundreds of millions of people remain hungry, agriculture already uses almost half of the world’s vegetated land, and agriculture and related land-use change generate one-quarter of annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

Join us for this exciting round table event, where we will discuss what is needed to create the sustainable food systems of the future, including, infrastructure, investment, funding for R&D, skills, policy and regulation.
