This is the second part of a series of three webinars on building sustainable agri-food systems. Sustainability is a key focus globally and is particularly relevant due to climate change, growing populations, and the ongoing pandemic. Within agri-food - one key question remains - how can we achieve a secure and nutritionally balanced food supply for all, while ensuring future generations can do the same? The production of sustainable agri-food should preserve the environment, human health, animal welfare and profitability. The development of low-input systems and new technologies throughout the supply chain offer hope for the future. This session explores how we can move towards a more sustainable future for agri-food, drawing on the experiences of our speakers who work in academia, industry, and policy/NGO/start-up. The following speakers presented in this session:
