If the growing body of experts is right, dwindling global food security poses a significant threat to much of humanity. Influenced by numerous factors, including climate change, population growth and rising fuel costs, it has the potential to cause widespread famine and civil unrest. Indeed, in many countries, it already is. In this public forum, leading University of Adelaide thinkers on the topic will explore the most critical issues surrounding the crisis and invite questions from the floor. Is it a problem of supply or access? What ethical questions does it raise about our own consumption? Can scientists enhance yields, and is modern high-production agriculture necessarily the best way forward? Don't miss this special event. WHEN: Tuesday 8th June, 5.30pm-7.00pm
