In the year 2050, there will be an extra two billion people coming to dinner.
Just how we’re going to feed everyone is a question that’s exercising politicians, agri-businesses, academics and of course farmers.
A group of distinguished Melbourne-based scientists together with Tim Costello, CEO of World Vision, will lead a seminal Ideas & Society discussion on Wednesday 10 April at La Trobe University to tease out some of the issues.
Chaired by Tim Costello, the panel includes Rick Roush, Dean of Land and Environment at The University of Melbourne, Philip Keane, Reader and Associate Professor at La Trobe University, Department of Botany, and Elizabeth Finkel, Associate Editor, Cosmos Magazine and Vice-Chancellor’s Fellow, La Trobe University.
DATE: Wednesday 10 April 2013
TIME: 12.30-2.00pm
VENUE: John Scott Meeting House, La Trobe University, Bundoora
Webcast: A webcast will be available for download from Ideas and Society following the seminar.
