Event Description
- Full Description:
- While it is understood that demand for food is rising and that by 2050 food production will need to increase by 60%, it is less well understood that a range of new technologies, from gene editing to nanotechnology and technologies from disciplines traditionally outside of agriculture, will be required in order to increase production of more food in challenging environments. This forum will explore the implication of how consumers will accept the application of such new technologies in food production.
