Wednesday, February 25, 2015
4:30 pm - 5:30 pm

Today, one of the biggest threats to our planet comes from the production of food. Each year, 7.2 billion people consume what earth's natural resources can continue to provide. Our planet can't replenish itself fast enough to meet expanding human needs. In the next 40 years, we will have to produce more food to feed more people - all without expanding production beyond the land and water already pressed into service on our behalf. We can't double the amount of land used for producing food: How can we double the amount of food production and efficiency while reducing food's environmental footprint? This will be a discussion with Duke Rubenstein Fellow and former USAID Chief Scientist, Alex Dehgan, and Dr. Jason Clay, Senior Vice President for Food and Markets, at the World Wildlife Fund. This talk is open to the public and is part of the Innovation & Entrepreneurship for Conservation & Development series: Understanding future threats and opportunities to conservation from food production.
