Can Sustainable Agriculture Feed the World? The Role of Innovation and Thinking Outside the Box

Consumers are increasingly demanding foods that are both healthy and produced in an environmentally sustainable ecosystem. At the same time, millions of people around the globe continue to face hunger and food insecurity. How can agriculture and food producers meet growing food demand in a world where they face resource and environmental constraints by leveraging innovative agricultural technologies and thinking outside the box?

C S Liew will discuss cutting edge global innovations developed by producers, entrepreneurs and policy makers that aim to address these demands as well as examine their challenges and opportunities. Liew will draw on examples from the U.S. and around the world, including alternative proteins (lab-grown meat, milk and eggs), biosolutions, gene editing, integrated pest management (IPM), indoor and vertical farming, and regenerative agriculture. His presentation will discuss how students can develop their own creative strategies for thinking outside the box and leave you with lots of food for thought.

�� the speaker: C S Liew is a graduate of Iowa State University in Agronomy and Integrated Pest Management with 45 years of global experience in the agricultural inputs industry. He is Managing Director of Singapore-based Pacific Agriscience and is active in global mergers and acquisitions. He has served in many prestigious positions, currently this includes board member of the Council of the World Agriculture Forum, and member of the Advisory Board of Agribusiness Global (a world-renowned agricultural inputs magazine based in Ohio, USA). He is a highly sought after speaker for his global expertise on agriculture.
