Can organic feed the world?
A webinar hosted by Friends of the Earth
Two commonly held beliefs about world hunger are that we will need to vastly increase food production to feed a growing population and that organic agriculture is not up to the task.
Join us to hear from top scientists and thought leaders on the science of sustainable food production and a comprehensive approach to creating a healthy, resilient food system to feed all people, now and into the future.
Be among the first to learn about a new Friends of the Earth report, Farming for the Future: Organic and Agroecological Solutions to Feed the World.
