Topic: “Farm to Fork: Feeding a Growing Population”
Presented by Dr. Ryan Cox
Regardless of statistical source, the scientific community agrees that the global population continues to increase and place demands on a food system that will not support it at its current capacity. Advances in agriculture and food processing technology are critical in meeting the demands of the evolving planet. In this unique time in human history, professionals in the food industry are positioned to have major impacts on how we shape the future of food. Additionally, unique to this challenge is the evolving demands and behaviors on the consumer.
