October 12 to 16, 2020

  • 9:00 – 5:30 pm (America/New_York)
  • 3:00 – 11:30 pm (Europe/Amsterdam)
  • 6:30 – 3:00 am (Asia/Kolkata)

IFPRI is participating in the 2020 Norman E. Borlaug International Symposium

The combined challenges of climate change and a global pandemic magnify the weaknesses in our current global food systems, causing the global food security community to confront the need to feed up to 10 billion people by 2050. Achieving equity, sustainability and improved nutrition in the food systems requires swift evolution in our definitions, research, plans, approaches and practices to build resilience. 

The Dialogue will tackle structural vulnerabilities requiring immediate attention and reform. Resilient food systems equip stakeholders with the capacity to recover from shocks and mitigate the impacts of stressors such as pandemics, climate change, natural resource degradation, volatile markets, conflict, and natural disasters.
