Speakers

 

 

Special Guest Ms Alison Stone (NSW Agriculture Commissioner) will provide opening remarks and help to set the scene for why food security is such an important issue to address, and why we have to do so from many angles through research, policy development, and industry.
 
Dr Timothy Neal (UNSW) will speak on the impacts of climate change on food supply and prices in a global context, and the impacts on the macroeconomy. His work touches on the potential consequences for food security as a result of an increasing prevalence of natural disasters and COVD-19-like shocks.
 
Dr Dana Cordell (UTS, Institute for Sustainable Futures) will address the complexities and threats facing critical inputs into agriculture systems, like phosphorus and land. Her work takes a ‘food-systems’ approach and provides a practical set of data-driven decision-support tools for understanding the trade-offs necessary to build food security.
 
Dr Joshua Bishop (USYD) will examine demand-side factors to food security, focusing on how tastes, expectations and environmental and health concerns matter for food security policy and trade-offs. Their work also delves into market-based approaches to addressing both food security and environmental externalities.
 
The Panel Event will be facilitated by Samuel Miller (Principal Economist, NSW Farmers).

Description

Food Security:

Prices, Inputs and People

This panel event brings together a cast of experts across the many dimensions of food security at a time of heightened importance. Supply shocks from COVID-19, natural disasters, and trade wars have rocked the foundations of our economies, putting the supply of our most essential goods in jeopardy. In response, the Hon Min Julie Collins has announced support for a National Food Security Strategy, but the questions remain: what is food security? and what can we actually do to create it?
