Food security in a climate of change - CABI global summit

By 2050 it is estimated we will need to grow double the amount of food to feed the world's people, as population growth and changing food preferences increase pressures on land and water availability.

This will need to be achieved against a backdrop of climate change which will exacerbate water shortages, reduce crop yields and create new pests and disease threats.

The CABI Global Summit will bring together environment and agriculture ministers and other senior government officials from around the world.  Also attending will be major funding organisations and representatives from international development and corporate organisations. Together, they will consider policies, practices and technologies that can help improve food security against this background of change.
