Feeding Change: Building a Healthier More Sustainable Food System

The current food revolution is fueled by shifting consumer preferences, emerging nutrition science, geopolitical changes, and health and environmental crises. Global leaders from an array of disciplines agree that the most recent advances in science, technology, investment, and policy should be deployed to build a healthier and more sustainable future in the Middle East and across the globe. Nations, industries, investors, and entrepreneurs must find means of scaling up food production to nourish the projected global population of 9 billion by 2050. At the same time, countries must work together on increasing access to affordable foods of high nutritional quality with the goal of arresting the surge in noncommunicable diseases and risk factors.
