When Food Becomes Security

January 21, 2026
18:00–18:45 (Europe/Amsterdam time zone)

About this session

As extreme heat, floods, drought, and volatility disrupt harvests and trade, food is rapidly emerging as the new frontier of global concern. From farms to factory floors, every supply chain has become a matter of security. Can economics drive resilience where policy struggles to keep pace, preventing scarcity from turning into conflict?

This is a livestreamed session.
