Feb. 2 Farm Foundation Forum in D.C. on how to feed a world population doubling in 30 years

Much attention has been given to building awareness of the challenges facing agriculture as it works to provide food, feed, fuel and fiber to a global population that is expected to double in the next 30 years. The most recent was a paper by the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology, "Agricultural Productivity Strategies for the Future: Addressing U.S. and Global Challenges."

How to begin addressing those challenges will be the focus of the Feb. 2 Farm Foundation Forum. Presenters, yet to be named, will make brief comments, after which the floor will be opened for discussion. The frum will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. at the National Press Club, 529 14th Street NW, Washington D.C. Coffee will be available at 8:30 a.m. If you plan to attend, please RSVP by noon Friday, Jan. 29. There is no charge to participate.
