CountryChaptersMeeting
Lima,PeruMarch13th-16th,2017HostedbytheNationalAcademyofSciencesofPeru
Assuring foodandnutritionsecurity isgenerally regardedasoneof thekeyglobalchallengesfor the 21st century. Population growth, climate and environmental change and technologydevelopmentwill all interact to determine how our various nationswill assure an adequatefood supply to the citizens of the Americas. Equally important will be national agriculturalpolicies, land use patterns, market systems and systems of infrastructure. These policydependentparametersaresetbynationalgovernmentsandstateswithinnations.Theaimof thisproject is toassess theoutlook for foodandnutritionsecurity (FNS)over thenextfiftyyearswithintheAmericas,withthegoalofinformingnationalpolicymakersofcriticalissuesandpotentialoptionsforeachmajorcountryoftheAmericas.The project is being implemented by the national science academies of the Americanhemisphere through the Inter-American Network of Academies of Sciences (IANAS) withfinancial support from the German National Academy of Sciences-Leopoldina, the GermanGovernment (Ministry of Education) and the Global Network of Science Academies (IAP-Science).ParallelprojectsarealsounderwayfortheEuropean,AsianandAfricanNetworksofScienceAcademies.Expertsfrom21countriesoftheAmericaswillbemeetinginLima,Perutoassessofthefoodand nutrition security challenge in the hemisphere for the next fifty years. Themeetingwillculminateinavolumeofcountryassessmentsthatwillbepublishedattheendof2017.Theorganization isverygratefulwiththehospitalityandsupportof theNationalAcademyofSciencesofPeru.
