Food Security Ideas Cafe - 14 November
The next Ideas Cafe is on the topic of Food Security and will be held on Monday 14 November, 5.30pm to 7.15pm in University House Cafe.
Feeding the world’s growing population sustainably and fairly is one of the most challenging issues of our time – it’s also intellectually exciting. Warwick has internationally leading expertise in this area with School of Life Sciences (SLS), Sociology and Politics and International Studies (PAIS) driving the theme forward.
Food Security is one of the Global Priorities Programme research themes, identified as part of the University’s research strategy to give clear thematic identity, aligned to external funding priorities, to our multi-disciplinary research strengths which can make a significant contribution to some of society’s most pressing issues.
The session will be introduced and chaired by Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor Tim Jones, who was involved in establishing the Warwick Crop Centre as part of the wider Food Security initiative.
Four leading Warwick academics will each present their interest and research strand on the theme of Food Security - these include Dr Rosemary Collier and Professor Laura Green from the School of Life Sciences.
The event is free to staff, students and the local community. Advance online registration is required.
