How are water management and the agricultural landscape adapted to the meteorological variations in the Po Valley in Northern Italy? What is the future of agriculture in the region? Will there be enough water, and can violent floods be dealt with? Welcome to a KSLA Webinar with dr Alessandro Bratti, recipient of this year’s Stockholm Water Prize, prof Andrea Rinaldo, and Antonio Maconi, Goodnet.
All forms of malnutrition lead to poorer health. World hunger is increasing, biodiversity is in crisis, shortages of fresh water are continuing, as is the depletion of the world’s soils, and the world’s natural resources are being consumed at an unsustainable rate: Professor Jennifer Clapp, Global Food Security, Univ of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, is newly elected international fellow to KSLA.
The Nordic countries face similar – but not always identical – challenges, including education, in the labour market and the working milieu for today’s veterinarians. Stakeholders in the region are invited to meet and exchange experiences and discuss solutions in this webinar in KSLA and Zoom.
This seminar will present the challenges and discuss the solutions for global foods security with examples from academia, NGOs, and business. The overall purpose is to stress the importance of multisector cooperation to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal of zero hunger. Please join our effort in jointly finding a way forward towards an inclusive food system for all.
