'Speakers: Debra Dunn, Jason Clay, Willy Foote, Kathleen McLaughlin, Jocelyn Wyatt The challenge? Enable 500 million smallholder farmers to play a vital role in feeding 25 percent more people and do it with radically less environmental damage. Is sustainable intensification a viable approach? How can human-centered design enable the adoption of forward thinking innovations?

We’ll explore promising developments and tough obstacles with leaders on the front line.
