Food & Nutrition from Local to Global
Josette Lewis from the UC Davis World Food Center will be talking about Agriculture, Food & Nutrition from Local to Global on April 23.
Lewis is associate director of the World Food Center, which was launched in 2013.
What does it take to feed 9 billion people? How does our food system encourage California agriculture to remain globally competitive, while reducing poverty in low-income countries? How can we deliver healthier outcomes for malnourished communities in Asia and Africa, while reducing rising obesity rates around the world? A food system that meets growing global demand must lower our environmental footprint as well.
Delivering solutions that address the complexity of these trade-offs requires connecting partners from areas spanning scientific excellence, innovation, policy and industry.
The program will begin at 6pm, happy hour begins at 5:30 at the Tahoe Science Center, 291 Country Club Drive in Incline Village on the campus of Sierra Nevada College. Cost is $5.
