The Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute is introducing its “Water for Food Global Forum,” a virtual series of events over a one-month period that will convene leading international experts, growers and organizations to focus on achieving global water and food security. The Forum will focus on integrating knowledge and practice and we invite you and your organization to participate through event sponsorship.
In place of its flagship Water for Food Global Conference, in 2021 the institute is capturing the depth and breadth of its global connections and expertise through a variety of free, virtual events. The Forum will provide an opportunity for individuals with diverse areas of expertise and interest to learn about, collaborate and strategize solutions to pressing issues related to water and food, including those exacerbated by the COVID pandemic. The events will serve as a springboard for future conversations.
Theme topics include the following:
- food systems and nutrition
- innovations and entrepreneurship in agriculture and water management
- water and nutrient management
- climate change and extreme events
All sessions of the Water for Food Global Forum will be presented virtually and registrants will have access to all sessions for free.
Live sessions will be presented Thursdays in October, 9-11 a.m. CST. Each week, the Water for Food Global Forum will feature two hours of live, interactive sessions related to each theme topic. Other live side events will be held throughout the Forum.
New on-demand sessions will be made available to registrants each week via the Cvent platform. These sessions will complement the two hours of “live” content we’ll also be providing each week.
The tentative schedule is available
online. New sessions and speakers will be added as they are confirmed.
