4th International Conference on Global Food Security

GO TO THE EVENT

The 4th International Conference on Global Food Security addresses  the topic of food security at all spatial levels from local to global,  and from an interdisciplinary and systemic food systems perspective. It  aims to better understand environmental, nutritional, agricultural,  demographic, socio-economic, political, technological and institutional  drivers, costs and outcomes of current and future food security.  Interactions with contextual factors including climate change,  urbanisation, greening the economy and data-driven technologies will be  central. The conference addresses the triple burden of malnutrition:  hunger, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity. It explores the  state-of-the-art of interdisciplinary insight, addresses the trade-offs  that occur – and synergies that can be sought –in transforming food  systems. These are aimed at reconciling the competing environmental,  economic or social objectives and outcomes towards achieving the  Sustainable Development Goals at different levels across spatial and  temporal scales.
