About
Global food systems are facing unprecedented challenges. Producing enough high-quality food for a growing population, protecting natural resources, contributing to poverty eradication, offering prosperous livelihoods, expanding access to healthy and nutritious diets, while reducing GHG emissions. It’s not a minor task.
During the Annual Meetings of the Board of Governors of the IDB, we’ve arranged this seminar that will examine the main challenges and opportunities faced by food systems in Latin America and the Caribbean, in the context of increasing food insecurity and climate change.
The discussion will focus on the importance of agricultural research and innovation to tackle food insecurity while improving climate change adaptation and mitigation. The role of the private and public sectors in encouraging investments in innovations to support climate-smart agriculture will also be discussed.
