SUMMARY:Global Conversations DIGITAL: Food Security and Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:It is often said that foreign policy is about connecting means with ends.

Patching up vulnerabilities in food systems remains paramount in ending hunger around the world and such trends pose challenges – some new\, some old – to U.S. foreign policy. \nHear from a panel of experts as they explore U.S. food security and current gaps in policy\, particularly as they relate to the effects of COVID-19. \nPanelists\n\nAsma Lateef\, Director\, Bread for the World Institute\nRob Paarlberg\, Associate at Harvard University’s Weatherhead Center for International Affairs and Adjunct Professor at Harvard Kennedy School\nAbigail Rockwell\, Director\, Office of Global Food Security\, U.S. Department of State\nCaitlin Welsh\, Director\, Global Food Security Program\, Center for Strategic and International Studies\nModerator: Tina May\, Chief of Staff to Land O’Lakes CEO Beth Ford\n\nThis event will be live-streamed on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/WgHDhkcydyY  \nPresented in partnership with the Edina Senior Center\, Friends of the Edina Library\, Friends of the Minneapolis Central Library\, Hennepin County Library – Minneapolis Central\, Landmark Center\, Minneapolis Public Schools Community Education\, Plymouth Library\, and Washburn Library.
