The Next Great Famine: Can Governments Prevent It?
February 04, 2026
2.3 e& Hall
The global food system faces rising pressure from climate volatility, supply-chain disruption, and growing demand, requiring governments to rethink how food is produced, stored, and distributed. Food security increasingly depends on resilient post-harvest systems, efficient logistics, and policies that reduce food loss while strengthening rural incomes.
This session explores how governments, development institutions, investors, and global food companies can collaborate to scale post-harvest and cold-chain infrastructure, mobilise public–private capital, and establish governance frameworks that position food logistics as strategic national assets—particularly in climate-vulnerable and import-dependent regions.
