Cornell CALSExperts predict the world’s population will top 9 billion people by 2050. World hunger is on the rise, and droughts, floods and temperature extremes are undermining global crop production. These realities reveal the grand challenge of our time: to provide adequate safe and nutritious food to meet the needs of a growing global population, to do so without a parallel and commensurate increase in inputs to grow that food and to do so without degrading environmental conditions. How is Cornell addressing such massive global issues? As the only Ivy League university with a land grant mission, Cornell CALS is uniquely positioned to address such challenges through its focus on ensuring human well-being while protecting and restoring the environment and working to transform food and human systems in financially and ecologically sustainable ways. Join CALS Dean Kathryn J. Boor as she highlights the innovative teaching, research and outreach programs at CALS today. During this live, interactive webinar, you will also have an opportunity to ask questions of the dean.https://www.ecornell.com/ls/stream-6-19-19/America/New_YorkeCornell
