Ensuring that every nation can feed its population and provide people with nutritional foods is going to be one of the great challenges of the 21st Century, but it could also lead the global community to many opportunities. Food security helps to combat poverty, increase global stability, improve health, and spur economic growth and job creation. And as the global population grows and countries around the world continue to seek ways to feed their citizens nutritious and sustainable foods, the need for innovation and new technologies in food and agriculture will become even more necessary.
From sustainable resource mobilization to lab-grown meats to genetically modified crops that need less water and land, fewer pesticides, and are grown to be more nutritious—these challenges, and others, will determine the future of food.
Join the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia and its partners for a discussion about the future of food and how innovation and technology can help us combat global hunger and fight climate change.
