Sustainable Food & Agriculture: Growing more form less.
By 2050, the world’s population will reach close to 10 billion people and food production will have to increase by 60% compared to 2006 levels to feed this growing population. At the same time, agriculture, forestry and other land uses are accountable for 24% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, we have the huge responsibility of redesigning the way we produce food in order to feed the growing population while taking care of our environment.
The event will cover these topics:
1. Food and Agriculture Industry. How important is this industry in today’s scenario? What is the impact it has in the environment?
2. Regulatory Tailwinds. What is the EU “ Green Deal”? How is the European Union planning to be carbon Neutral by 2050? What are the main pillars of this strategy?
3. Smart and Sustainable Production Systems. How are we planning to produce more food in a more sustainable way? How is technology helping farmers to build more efficient production systems?
4. Impact Investing in the global food and agriculture space. Why impact investments in agriculture are important? Opportunity set of impact investments in agriculture.
