COP21 panel on climate-smart food system: slides from speakers

At COP21 the Grantham Centre and the Worldwide Universities Network hosted a panel discussion that brought together scientists and social scientists to look at adapting the global food system as a result of climate change.

The event was called ‘What are the research challenges associated with developing a climate-smart agri-food system?’ It followed the publication of the Grantham Centre’s briefing note on the unfolding global crisis of soil loss.

Lead author Professor Duncan Cameron was one of the speakers at yesterday’s discussion, which was chaired by Grantham Centre Director, Tony Ryan.
