Security and Sovereignty in the Global Food System

Friday, October 28, 2022

Given the challenges that have deeply impacted the food system over the past year including climate change, conflict (such as that in Ukraine) and the ongoing Covid pandemic, what is our best way forward? How can food systems around the world best address these ongoing challenges? What are the key shifts that need to be taken to build more resilient and just food systems and who needs to be engaged to make these transformations possible? This panel will draw from experts around the world to address these fundamental questions about the future of food and agriculture.
