*2nd International Conference on Global Food Security,*
<http://communications.elsevier.com/r/?id=h4d7b127,29054e8,2c36771> 11-14
October 2015, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA
The *2nd International Conference on Global Food Security*
<http://communications.elsevier.com/r/?id=h4d7b127,29054e8,2c36772> aims to
deliver state-of-the-art analysis, inspiring visions and innovative
research methods arising from research in any of a wide range of
disciplines. Join us in this exciting opportunity to ensure that the best
science is garnered to support the emergence of the Sustainable Development
Goals.
Achieving global food security whilst reconciling demands on the
environment is the greatest challenge faced by mankind. By 2050 we will
need to feed at least 9 billion people. The urgency of the issue has led to
huge scientific strides forwards, making it difficult to keep up with the
rapidly expanding volume of scientific research.
We aim to better understand economic, social, biophysical, technological
and institutional drivers of current and future global food security. The
conference will address food production, processing and distribution, the
availability, access, utilization and stability dimensions of food
security, and the trade-offs between competing environmental, economic or
social objectives and outcomes.
