Navigating the Effects of Climate Change on Global Food Security

Implementation of the Vision for Adapted Crops and Soils (VACS)

One Scientist’s Experience

The adverse impact of climate change on global food security is inevitable. With targeted investments in research, development, and realistic implementation plans, we can ensure the availability, access, and utilization of nutritious foods worldwide despite climate challenges. Understanding this critical need led to the creation of the Vision for Adapted Crops and Soils (VACS). Launched in 2023 in partnership with the African Union (AU) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, VACS aims to enhance agricultural productivity and nutrition by investing in the development of diverse, climate-resilient crops and healthy soils. Dr. Oliver’s talk will emphasize her contributions to VACS as a Jefferson Science Fellow and Advisor in the Office of the Special Envoy for Global Food Security, highlighting the importance of integrating science and policy to combat climate change effects on food security.

GUIRR at 40: Reimagining the Triple Helix of Innovation, Investments, and Partnerships

June 25 - 26, 2024

Materials

About

For 40 years, GUIRR has played a crucial role as a convener and advocate for its members and the scientific enterprise. In that time, the scientific enterprise has radically evolved and will continue to change with the progress of scientific innovation. New stakeholders beyond GUIRR’s traditional Government-University-Industry membership have appeared, and new and diverse funding structures have been constructed. Globalization has created opportunities and threats for U.S. R&D, new partnerships to shepherd basic research into innovative technology have been created, and technological change is rapidly accelerating. This workshop will reflect on GUIRR’s 40-year history of partnership building to envision how GUIRR can aspire to participate in constructing a more agile and efficient national innovation ecosystem for the next decade.

This meeting is for GUIRR members and invited guests only. If you have not received the registration link directly and your organization is part of the GUIRR membership, please contact jgriffiths@nas.edu for the registration link.
