In partnership with Washington's diplomatic community
we are pleased to present:
| Food Security & Agricultural Innovation: A Multinational Imperative |
December 16, 2011 Washington, D.C. |
Doubling global food production by 2050 against a backdrop of diminishing natural resources and climate change demands multinational collaboration, agricultural innovations, and accelerated research partnerships. To shape new models for global cooperation and create an effective platform for knowledge-sharing, Diplomacy Matters presents the inaugural luncheon of our “Global Food Matters” series.
His Excellency Michael Collins, Irish Ambassador to the United States, will keynote the program, underscoring Ireland’s commitment to fighting global hunger and building innovative partnerships. Focusing on multinational efforts, we will highlight partner nations helping to build a food-secure future and breaking new ground in agricultural innovations and technology applications.
