Save the date to attend the World Food Day Colloquium 2019.

Global trade with agricultural and food products offers a huge potential for contributing to food security, for example by enabling the provision of diverse food sources. On the other hand, trade may also jeopardize local and regional agricultural markets and producers, especially in developing countries. Further, the carbon footprint of food products and, thus, the impact on climate change, but also food scandals have increased the awareness to focus again more on local and regional products. This might be true for developed countries, but how can local / regional trade in developing countries become strengthened? Can the complexity of trade, climate change and food security become a sustainable system?

Experts and scientists are actively involved in answering these questions and will present their perspectives. Young scientists from developing countries and funded by FSC will give insights into their research. The World Food Day Colloquium 2019 will end with a panel discussion during which experts will debate the specific roles of trade with agricultural and food products on global food security.

See you there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
