Stor konference: Verden og fødevarekrisen

Such a challenge requires changes and new solutions in the way food is produced, stored, processed, distributed and policy reformed.

Such a challenge requires changes and new solutions in the way food is produced, stored, processed, distributed and policy reformed.

But there is no simple solution to sustainably feeding 9 billion people. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences, ATV, and the International Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences, CAETS, invite you to Copenhagen to participate in an international conference.

Time: Tuesday 29 June at 08.30 – 17.30 hours

Venue: Eigtveds Pakhus, Asiatisk Plads 2G, Christianshavn, Kbn K

The right technological solutions combined with the right policy directions for the future are explored on the conference. ATV and CAETS believe that in combination these can effectively contribute to a sustainable and equitable global food system.

ATV and CAETS wish to facilitate an open debate, a free exchange of ideas and discussion of new future-oriented solutions. Our joint challenge on the conference is to identify the real problems and the effective answers which – at the same time – will increase food production, reduce poverty and hunger and reduce over-exploitation of natural resources.

We are pleased to release the first version of the conference programme.

The programme is balanced with presentations, panel discussions, Q&A sessions all added interactivity. The final version of the programme for the Food for All Conference will be available before the end of May 2010, containing abstracts of the presentations and a short biography of all speakers.

ATV and CAETS look forward to welcoming you to Copenhagen. We have the makings of an outstanding conference, with opportunities to meet old friends and to make new ones.

See you in June 2010!
