– Future Conference: Theme

We are planning a conference for 2023 on The Global Crisis in Nutrition. At present 2 billion people are at risk to a form of malnutrition that leads to poor mental development. The conference will deal with the population growth and the need for equable nourishment. It will draw attention to the Foresight report (2011) on the lack of arable land or new land to bring into agriculture in face of another 2.5 billion people by 2050. It will set the challenge that it is not just a cup of food that is needed but what is in the cup that matters. This concept being promoted by UN-WFP is especially relevant to the needs for brain development and the challenge of the rise in mental ill-health.
