Feeding the World - Jessica Eise, Purdue

$\"\"$ $\"\"$

How do we get adequate and nutritious food to billions of tables? We better figure it out because by 2050, there will be ten billion mouths to feed in a world seriously impacted by environmental change. How can we meet this challenge? A diverse group of experts from Purdue University break down this crucial question by tackling big issues one-by-one and cover it in a book entitled, appropriately, \”How To Feed The World\”. They cover population, water, land, climate change, technology, food systems, trade, food waste and loss, health, social buy-in, communication, and, critically, the ultimate challenge of achieving equal access to food. To help us through the key topics and the complex web of factors that must be addressed to assure global food security, the co-author, Jessica Eise is our guest on Farm To Table Talk . A doctoral candidate in Purdue\’s Brian Lamb School of Communication, Jessica Eise is a former guest on Farm To Table Talk when she talked about how Agriculture needs to improve it\’s image and trust with better communications. \”….these are not simple problems, yet we can overcome them. Doing so will require cooperation between farmers, scientists, policy makers, consumers, and many others.\” https://ag.purdue.edu/feedtheworld/
