Feeding the World
Over one billion people (one out of six globally) lack access to adequate food and nutrition. By 2050, the global population will surpass 9 billion people. At the same time, the world’s agricultural systems will be increasingly challenged by water scarcity, climate change and volatility, raising the risk of production shortfalls. Economist Conferences are launching an inaugural Feeding the World summit, to deliver fresh insight into solving the critical challenges described above. Gathering progressive experts from the fields of agribusiness, policy, international agencies, science and the NGO community, you’ll be able to participate in panel debates and discussions, led by editors from The Economist Group.

1st International Congress on Dust Haze
The adverse effects and consequences of dust storms in terms of endangering human health, imposing huge costs on governments and communities, causing considerable damages to natural resources and agriculture (as witnessed by the reduced agricultural productivity in terms of quality and quantity), endangering flight safety and interfering with transportation, disrupting business and manufacturing activities, reducing both individual and cumulative productivity, among others, all bear witness to the importance of investigating the phenomenon and of identifying solutions to combat its impacts and to control its production. The vastness of the areas affected by blowing sands and dust storms calls for collaborative and joint efforts of experts and researchers across the globe to plan for and implement proactive and/or preventive measures with support and input by international agencies and national governments to control dust storms, to curb the enormous production of fine-grained dust, and to alleviate its impacts.
