Food in the Bio-based Economy – Sustainable Provision and Access27 – 29 May 2015 Wageningen, the Netherlands
Theme and scope
Addressing global challenges such as climate change, population growth and particularly the increase in food demand involves biological sciences. This includes industrial biotechnology and agriculture technologies that increase efficiency and environmental sustainability in food production, and provide alternative sources for energy supply and biological solutions to improve health outcomes. The emerging bio-economy will be influenced by public policies, regulations, consumer attitudes and societal responses in general. Furthermore, resources are not equally distributed and accessible. Enhancing global food security remains a big challenge. Contrasting problems exist where in one part of the world we observe food waste and obesity, while poverty and undernourishment in other parts. The conference focuses on the economic analysis of the relevant issues related to the sustainable food provision and access in the emerging bio-based Economy.
