World Food Policy
December 17-18, 2015
Bangkok, Thailand
The Conference on World Food Policy will bring together policymakers
and scholars to discuss and share relevant research findings on the need
to take into account interdependence of food, health, environment and
society. The conference will address the following themes:
• Changing patterns of food demand and consumption: fundamental
challenges facing the food supply & security, lessons from recent
prospective analyses, producing differently, increased diversity, feeding
cities, changing patterns of distribution & regulation, and rebalancing
the demand & the supply parts of the equation
• Labour & employment in the context of small (family) farming & global
markets: policies supporting secure & resilient food systems, role of the
private sector, pluri-activity, labour mobility/migrations, life cycle of
farming households, role of women, who will be the next generation
of farmers
• Innovative food policies supporting production, health/nutrition,
environmental preservation & society: sustainable production and
consumption of food, land use change & food security, new inter-sector
& interdisciplinary approaches to better deal with multi-faceted food
systems.
Our first World Food Policy Conference will
be held in December 2015, in Bangkok, and
