Supporting Partnerships for Food Security and Sustainability: A Workshop

Completed

The Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable convened a workshop for its membership and invited guests in February 2022 to discuss opportunities for supporting research and innovation to address agricultural and human health challenges. The workshop considered the intersection of food access, nutritional security, and health equity; the impacts of agriculture on climate change and the changing climate's impact on agricultural productivity; the future of food production and sustainable land use management; and opportunities and challenges for curbing and preventing food loss and waste. Central to the discussion was the role of partnerships to enable alignment and collaboration across sectors.
