Speaker: Professor Jonathan Foley, Institute on the Environment, University of Minnesota

Event: 12th Annual Henry W. Kendall Memorial Lecture

In his talk, Foley will discuss how increasing population and wealth, along with changing patterns of diet and consumption, are placing unprecedented demands on the world's agriculture and natural resources. He will propose possible solutions to this dilemma, which together could double the world’s food production while greatly reducing the environmental impacts of agriculture. 

Take the 2 °C Challenge. Work the Climate Calculator to see if you can make the choices needed to reduce the global average temperature enough to save the world from most disastrous consequences of climate change.
