Water-Soil-Nutrients: Integrated Solutions for Assuring Global Food
and Water Security
29 February – 2 March 2016
Rabin Auditorium, CEE, Technion-IIT, Haifa, Israel
Current demographic trends and projected growth in global population and standards of living are estimated to result in about 70 percent increase in food demand by 2050. Global climatic changes, the increase in population growth and societal demands pose extreme challenges on water and land resources, which together with sustainable plant-nutrient provision are essential resources for securing food production. Achieving global food security while reconciling demands on ecosystems and natural resources is one of the greatest challenges faced by humanity.
