The Hudson Institute Hosts Conference on Food for the 21st Century: Challenging the Conventional Wisdom

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As the World Bank recently warned, we are facing critical food shortages by mid-century. Dennis Avery, Director of the Center for Global Food Issues, argues that by 2050, the world will need to double its food and feed production to meet the demands of an expected population boom. This innovative forum will examine the costly impact of diverting crops to ethanol production and the agricultural impact of climate change.
