Heading to the end of a very interesting confernce. Food security is threatened by a combination of growing population, global warming, and weather uncertainty. Corruption and waste also contribute to reduce security. These will lead to increasing catastrophe including human hunger. This, in turn, leads to social instability, including discontent and revolution.
Great research by many participants
Also, wonderful insights by (among many others ) Dr Leslie Lipper of FAO. She noted that "evidence based policy" is not enough. We need to understand the larger picture. There is no "silver bullet" we need to have coordination between policies. Between, for example, adaptation and mitigation of agricultural change.
