From climate change to over-population, the challenges facing global food production are increasing. Join Professor Tim Benton as he explores the difficulties of sustainably and equitably providing food for a growing world population and explains the demand for a ‘sustainable nutrition’ agenda.

Professor Benton is a ‘Champion’ for the UK’s Global Food Security (GFS) programme, leading, facilitating and coordinating its activities. GFS is a partnership of the UK’s main public funders of research in food security, including the research councils and government departments (including Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs, International Development, Health and Business, Innovation and Skills).

This lecture is organised in partnership with IChemE’s Food and Drink Special Interest Group.
