Events In:
A National Forum on Food Security
13th February 2012 National Wine Centre, Adelaide Unique challenges and opportunities face our domestic and global food systems - particularly as global demand for food and resource-based products grows and diversifies in the face of limited natural resources and slowdowns in agricultural Research and Development investment.
Our capacity to respond to food systems concerns, both short-run and long-run, will have great social significance in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. The development of new relationships in the research community will enable us to capture more of the opportunities available and will ensure Australia has a major role to play in equitably feeding and nourishing the 9 billion people estimated to be in the world by 2050.
This forum will serve as a catalyst to inform and influence researchers and research decision-makers on how to foster the development of cross-disciplinary Research, Development & Extension which will shape economic decision-makers and policy-makers dealing with challenges facing local and international food systems and how to design effective policy responses.
