ETHICS, EFFICIENCY AND FOOD SECURITY:
Feeding The 9 Billion, Well
26-28 August 2014
CONFERENCE SUMMARY
| Conference home | How might the world be fed, well, in an efficient and ethical way with a growing population demanding a more diversified diet, a declining resource base, slowing productivity growth and neglect of many traditional foods and indigenous vegetables? This was the conundrum that focused minds at our 2014 Parliamentary Conference.
A longer summary and synthesis will be provided in the conference proceedings. |
In this brief summary, Dr Denis Blight, the Fund’s Chief Executive, presents the series of key themes that were highlighted through the thought-provoking addresses on our program, and some of the issues relating to each.
