In coming decades the world faces the risk of major regional food crises leading to conflicts and mass refugee movements. This is driven primarily by emerging scarcities of all the primary resources – land, water, oil, fertilizer and R&D - required to produce food, at a time of changing climate. The lecture will outline key factors in emerging global food insecurity and proposes some solutions.
