How will we produce enough food for a growing population, and distribute it equitably? How will we deal sustainably with the wicked problems of human waste and securing access to safe water and sanitation? Join food and water solutions experts in a discussion of the science behind depictions of food and water problems in popular movies. We'll discuss these films alongside emerging technological solutions and innovations that work toward a secure future for our food and water.
Join us before the event for a pop-up library of food and water-themed fiction and nonfiction available for checkout.
