In coming decades the world faces the risk of major regional food crises
leading to conflicts and mass refugee movements. This is driven primarily by
emerging scarcities of all the primary resources – land, water, oil,
fertilizer and research and development - required to produce food, at a
time of changing climate. The lecture will outline key factors in emerging
global food insecurity and propose some solutions.
