The Coming Food Crisis MISSION 2014

MISSION 2014 TEAMS Team 1: Economics: Should speculation in food commodities be more tightly controlled? Permitted? Value of international Megafarms? Finance and risk management - insurance and disaster relief, micro-financing

MISSION 2014 TEAMS Team 2: Data gathering and mining: How do we monitor global agriculture? Development of an international monitoring system for agriculture, food distribution, and nutrition Supply chains - infrastructure, distribution, efficiency and reliability

MISSION 2014 TEAM TEAM 3: Case studies I : India and Africa: lack of food production, distribution infrastructure and poverty are huge problems—how to best quantify and solve

MISSION 2014 TEAMS Team 4: Case Studies II: China—has a very large and growing population and is facing strong demand for increased output from less and less land—water issues, fertilizer and pesticide issues---what are solutions?

MISSION 2014 TEAMS Team 5: Fisheries – Global fisheries are collapsing from over fishing, aquaculture short term (?) solution, large managed marine preserves, impact of climate change. Projections-- How do we manage this global resource?

MISSION 2014 TEAMS Team 6: Agriculture I: Food and Energy---biofuels and bioenergy vs food production, energy requirements for food production/cost Agriculture II. Food and water – Crop choices, irrigation and long term water supplies impact of climate change on availability of water Agriculture III. Food and land use – Monocultures vs biodiversity and habitat preservation, Biotechnology - genetic engineering (transgenic and non-transgenic), forest to cropland conversion

MISSION 2014 TEAMS Team 7: International policy and implementation- trade, aid, poverty and hunger (Millennium Development Goals and beyond). United Nations? Compliance?

MISSION 2014 TEAMS Plan for next 100 years--be bold! Interact with other teams

MISSION 2014 Class Meeting Monday September Each team gets five minutes to introduce themselves and make a statement about their topic: Could be a few factoids or statement of major issues and/or possible links with other teams: Each team should appoint a temporary leader and 1-3 powerpoint slides should be sent to Seth before 2 PM on Monday.
