Title:   " Rick Foster "

Foster's lecture was entitled "Local Impacts of a Global Food System: The Paradox of Plenty in a World of Need." Who benefits from a global food system? The move to a global food and agricultural system is a double-edged sword – those who benefit most aren’t always those who are most impacted. Dr. Foster discusses the implications of the increasingly global food system on local and regional economies and cultures. What are the drivers of change in the food system? Where will the competition for food come from in the first half of the 21st century? What are the implications for local, national and global economies? What are the social and environmental issues to be considered? Are these implications and trends desirable? Can they be changed?
