SUMMARY:Investing in a Shifting Food Supply System
DESCRIPTION:Investing in a shifting food supply systemPast\n\n\n\n\nThis virtual conversation explores how an investment in shifting the global food supply system to be more efficient can help to address our current inefficiencies and positively impact food insecurity. \n\n\n\n	Share this page on Facebook\n	\n	Share on Facebook\n\n\n	Share this page on Twitter\n	\n	Share on X\n\n\n	Share this page on LinkedIn\n	\n	Share on LinkedIn\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent description\n\n\n\nPolitical instability\, poverty\, limited access to adequate housing or employment are some of the factors that contribute to food insecurity around the world.
