Ceres2030 Virtual Meeting: COVID-19 & Global Food Security Implications

April 7, 2020

  • 4:00 – 5:00 pm (Europe/Paris)
  • 10:00 – 11:00 am (US/Eastern)
  • 7:30 – 8:30 pm (Asia/Kolkata)

As the lock-downs continue and the commentaries on food security and COVID-19 start to come in, what are we learning? What do we know, what trends are suggestive, and what is still unknown? 

The Ceres2030 project – a joint initiative by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), and Cornell University, will provide an online reflection on the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for global food security.
