World Food Day 2021 Symposium – International Registration
October 15, 2021
/ FreeOne of the most celebrated days of the UN calendar, World Food Day promotes global awareness and action around hunger and healthy eating for all. This year, World Food Day looks forward to the future and the sustainable food system the world needs to build together.
Join us for our 2nd annual World Food Day virtual symposium that will take a closer look at the future of food and what “building back better” means amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The day will include presentations from leading international, national, and local experts on the impacts of climate change, global conflict, and COVID-19 on the world’s agri-food system and the transformation needed to create a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient food future for the world.
The symposium will be presented on Global Minnesota’s YouTube channel.
