6 6 NEW ANSWERS TO A GLOBAL CHALLENGE Food Secerity is a new and innovative initiative that aims towards engaging partners to produce bold, creative, and sustainable solutions to the global food challenge. The overarching challenge facing humanity today is how to prepare ourselves in order to feed the at least 9 billion people who will inhabit the earth in Addressing this challenge requires a carefully orchestrated approach to three major issues: PEOPLE: Flow of Talent in the Food and Agribusiness Sector CLIMATE: Climate-Smart Food and Agribusiness Systems BIG DATA: Better Analytics and Deeper Insight Management In the coming decades, these issues will impact public policies, management, human resource development, technology, international trade, environmental sustainability, resource availability, and even domestic and international conflicts. They are intimately interconnected and critical to the food and agribusiness industry s ability to solve the challenges of food security. To reach this goal IFAMA, WICaMeN, and Danish Food Cluster have joined forces. Be a part of the agenda and engage with Student Case Competitions, Roundtable Planing Chair, Expo, Site Visits etc. 2016
