Feeding a Billion by 2050: Creating a Sustainable and Healthy Food Future
|
|
March 22nd, 12PM
Webcast available at: Forumhsph.org |
|
|
| What does a sustainable and healthy future mean when it comes to food production, consumption and resulting environmental impacts? With nearly a billion people globally going hungry and nearly two billion eating the wrong food, the answer is pressing – especially as we look to a future that needs to sustainably feed “10 billion by 2050.” This Forum will explore how to avert dire consequences for human and planetary health through best practices and new technologies. Key questions will be how to amplify nutritious food production, prevent waste and secure supplies, while protecting our environment in the process. The discussion will include the “planetary health diet” recently proposed by an international commission that emphasizes plant-based eating for better health and for minimal ecological impact. |

Wildlands Studies Field Programs
|
|
Wildlands Studies programs occur entirely in the field. Although not taught in a classroom, there are definite academic expectations: participation in discussions and activities, readings, exams, projects and presentations. There will also undoubtedly be long days, possible inclement weather, logistical challenges, and physically demanding conditions. This comes as well with unsurpassed personal rewards. You will get the most out of the experience if you bring along flexibility, ample patience, a sense of humor, self-motivation, and perhaps most importantly, the desire to work as a team towards a common goal.
