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
