AAEA News Open Calls October 4, 2023 October 16, 2023
November 30, 2023 December 3, 2023 January 14, 2024 SAS Webinar: How to Fight Hunger & Food Insecurity (and How Not to) South Asia’s success in rapidly transitioning from massive food deficits to food surpluses and significant improvements in food security provides important lessons on the pathways towards getting to the SDG goal of zero-hunger. The historic focus on smallholder productivity growth and the consequent rise in incomes has long been seen as a blueprint for agriculture as an engine of economic growth and rural transformation. However, the unilateral strategy of increasing the “pile of grain” has resulted in substantial environmental and societal costs and climate related consequences. Staple grain fundamentalist agricultural policy has hampered food system diversity and slowed the fight against malnutrition. A reboot of food and agricultural policies that promote healthy, equitable and sustainable food systems are an urgent priority. We welcome you to join the South Asia Section of AAEA webinar with guest speaker Dr. Prabhu Pingali from Cornell University. When: Wednesday, October 25, 9:00am—10:00am Eastern Register now: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIqfuChqz0oGdWaKhMBFdHCtefgG-8lkTcW Free Virtual 2023 AAEA Annual Meeting Session
