FCI Hybrid Workshop<\/strong><\/p>\n

Converging Knowledge and Science-Based Innovations for a Resilient, Nutrition Sensitive, and Smart Food System<\/strong>
\nJune 18, 2024
\nIN-PERSON VENUE:<\/strong> University of Ghana, Business School
\nONLINE LINK<\/a>
\nTime:<\/strong>
\nCET: 1:00-4:40pm \/ Ghana: 11:00-2:40pm \/ Montreal: 7:00-10:40am Vancouver: 4:00-7:40am<\/p>\n

Rationale<\/h5>\n

This hybrid workshop brings into dialogue scholars who are at the forefront of developing frontier food system knowledge and innovations with those who are involved in delivering these innovations in a pattern that embraces and accommodates the diverse demands across the food value chain. The event objective is to explore future strategies for fostering a more integrated food ecosystem and accelerate discussions on the needed programmatic actions to foster progress towards a more transparent, nutritious, and health sensitive food ecosystem. Panel 1 focuses on key top-level patterns for attaining food security, with particular attention on three megatrends affecting agrifood systems, including demographic changes, geopolitical instability, and emerging frontier technologies and innovations. Panel 2 then discusses the paradigmatic agenda of delivering sustainable and healthy diets for all, specifically addressing how digital and data innovations could facilitate evidence-based actions and the establishment of food-water-land-energy nexus. Through facilitated discussions we hope to accelerate progress towards the collaborative agenda of creating a world where everyone has access to safe, nutritious, and affordable food.<\/p>\n
