The next in a series of webinars from the FAO and Climate Change looks at 'The Great Food Challenge' to meet the needs of population growth and climate.
Population increase and poverty are closely linked, making the challenge of sustainable and affordable food all the greater. \ Domnick Walsh

Part two of The Great Food Challenge digital webinar series takes place on Friday 16 October.
This is organised by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations and Climate Action on the occasion of the 75th World Food Day.
The webinar will assess the current state of political will to act and the innovative technologies which will be required to feed 10 billion people by 2050.

The webinar is free to join and open to all interested parties. It should provide an interesting insight into the thinking by all sides of this debate as an expanded population still needs to be fed.
Anyone interested in listening in from 2pm to 4pm Irish time this Friday can register here.
Extended webinar
This is an extended webinar to provide time and discussion regarding the innovations, finance and policy interventions that already exist to help address these challenges. Again, the event is free to attend, but registration is essential.
It is very important to see the climate discussion begin to embrace the future need for food as part of the solutions proposed to combat climate change.
Actions taken in the coming years need to be future-proofed or else we could find ourselves having similar discussions in two decades time as the requirement for food escalates.
The webinar (an online seminar) involves a very broad range of speakers from different backgrounds as shown below.
Key Speakers:
Juan Lucas Restrepo, director general, Alliance of Bioversity International and the International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT).
Margarita Astrálaga, director of the environment, climate, gender and social inclusion division, International Fund for Agricultural Development.
Tess Kelly, sustainable development manager, Quorn.
Emma Chow, lead food initiative, Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
Philippe Schuler, global movement co-ordinator and food waste warrior, Too Good to Go.
Malachy Mitchell, co-founder and managing director, Farrelly & Mitchell.
Eric Soubeiran, CEO, Danone Ecosystem Fund.
Stefan Fürnsinn, senior vice-president digital farming, Yara International.
