The Purdue-India Partnership is delighted to invite you to the 8th Annual India-Purdue Collaborative Lecture Series. This year's installment will focus on The Future of Food and Agriculture.



Today’s popular writings reveal that pessimism about food and agriculture abound. Distrust in the food system has become the status quo. At least another billion people are likely to join the human ranks in the next thirty years. How will we feed these extra people in a way that doesn’t damage the environment? Below the surface of the food problems is churn, change, and innovation. This is the story of a dynamic food system. There is a new breed of farmer, scientist, and food consumer improving food and agriculture, and, in this talk, Lusk will uncover how they are solving the biggest food problems of our times.
