52 Symposium--Global Food Security in a Changing Climate

Global climate change may be having a major impact on food security in the developing world. This symposium will examine past and predicted climate change and how these changes may affect agricultural production from crops and livestock and social and economic systems in developing countries. A major goal of this symposium is to bring together specialists on climate, agronomy, livestock management, rural sociology, economics, and policy to discuss this important issue.
