Webinar: Combating Malthus: Technologies to Feed 9 Billion by 2050

May 6, 2013

Description

The confluence of climate change, falling yield growth, and rising demand due to prosperity will make feeding the world a major technological and policy challenge by 2050. Technologies that achieved food security in the 20th century will prove inadequate in the 21st. Non-traditional and potentially disruptive technologies such as precision agriculture and genomics enabled modified crops will need to be adopted. In this webinar we will:
  • Examine six major categories of such technologies spanning the entire agricultural value chain and map them on the Lux Technology Innovation Grid for impactfulness
  • Evaluate major agricultural producer countries such as the U.S., Brazil, India, China, Indonesia, Russia, Canada, and Argentina
  • Determine the suitability of particular technologies for these individual countries
