Symposium on Global Food & Farming Issues

Speaker bios 

Food is fundamental to human existence much like water, housing and energy. Issues of food and food production (or farming) are viewed through so many different lenses: culture, development, science and health, economics and politics. This series explores some of the key issues that dominate global food and farming today.
