International Forum On Food And Nutrition
International Forum On Food And Nutrition
There are questions about food, which seem to be about a distant future. But they are not. Tackling the complexity of such challenges now is the only way to ensure a future for the Planet and for the People. How do we feed a growing global population with more sustainable agricultural practices?
How can we recast the relationship between food systems and migration to guide policy priorities in the EU Agenda? Why is food so essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals? The International Forum on Food and Nutrition will answer these questions with concrete proposals to inspire policymakers, new generations, and civil society.
The International Forum on Food and Nutrition, organized by the Barilla Center for Food and Nutrition (BCFN) in partnership with the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UN SDSN) will be held at The Square, Brussels, on June 6, 2018 to share ideas and experiences in ways that inspire new partnerships and innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.
The BCFN Forum has always been an extraordinary opportunity for discussing among global leaders concerning the major challenges our planet is facing. Over the years, the event has welcomed hundreds of speakers from all over the world - including Nobel prize winners, policymakers, scientists, international organizations
and representatives of the private sector - click here to see the confirmed speakers. Today, the Forum has become the platform of reference, internationally renowned for its contribution to the global debate on the sustainability of our planet.
The Brussels edition will provide a whole-istic platform of the concrete best practices in relation to nutritional challenges, food loss and waste and agrifood sustainability, emphasizing the problems we are currently facing and indicating how to overcome them in the light of the United Nations'Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Furthermore, we will focus on the on-going discussions at European Institutions level regarding the Common Agricultural Policy and the current geopolitical framework, emphasizing the close connection between migration flows, food security and climate change.
The BCFN Forum in Brussels is the first event of the BCFN roadmap for 2018, which includes another two International Forums: in addition to the one in Brussels, we will be gathering together in New York on September 28 and, as previous years, in Milan on November 27 and 28.
