IFPRI is participating in the Feeding the Future | London event where 150+ policymakers, regulators, agribusiness and food industry leaders, academics, financiers and insurers seek to answer questions, such as:

  • How do we prepare for a world with more mouths, and potentially fewer natural resources?
  • How can new technologies contribute to more sustainable, more efficient food production and less food waste?
  • What role must national governments play in developing policies and food programmes that protect their most vulnerable citizens and prioritize the creation of opportunities for more equitable economic growth?
  • Beyond hunger, how can we ensure that bellies are not only full, but fully nourished?
