Engineering a Sustainable Food System 2024
You can join the webinar on Youtube using the link
Our current food system is negatively impacting on our health and environment. If we are going to feed over 10 billion people by 2050, we need to act now.
Join us for a free webinar – Engineering a Sustainable Food System on March 4 2024 as we recognise World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development (WED). WED is an opportunity to celebrate engineering and the contribution of the world’s engineers for a better, sustainable world.
The speakers will include experts across the globe – policy makers, academic researchers, and industry leaders. They will join us to discuss the current technology trends and engineering innovations that are vital for the food system as we transition to adopting sustainable approaches in the way we produce, distribute, and consume food.
