The Great Food Challenge - Part 1
Food Security and The Global Recovery: How do we rebuild global food security to accelerate a resilient recovery?
About this event
Thursday, 3 September 2020
15.00-16.15 CEST
Part 1 delivers 75 minutes of deep-dive discussion on how to build resilience into our recovery, improve inclusion, and ensure economic growth across our global food systems and regions.
Food insecurity is set to double in 2020. COVID-19 has put developing regions at the greatest risk whilst highlighting structural inequalities in more developed nations. As governments around the world implement recovery plans and fiscal responses to the pandemic, it’s critical that countries work together to strengthen cooperation and pursue an inclusive, resilient recovery.
The policies, intervention and financial support mechanisms imposed by countries must not exacerbate or widen existing global and regional inequalities presented by our food systems and create further food insecurities.
Core Discussion Points:
- What are the major challenges our global food systems face in a post-pandemic world?
- How do we maintain security and fluidity in the global supply chain as countries implement recovery policies and plans?
- How can technology and innovation help us rebuild a more resilient future?
