January 20, 2022: Science Bar "How to feed 10 billion people".

The first Science Bar of the season will take place on Thursday, January 20 at 8:30 p.m. on the theme: How to feed 10 billion people?

There are some 7.9 billion people living on our planet, and according to projections, this figure is set to rise to around 10 billion by 2050. Feed The world's ever-growing population therefore represents a major challenge.
Demographic growth, urbanization, rising living standards, changing dietary habits, climate change... All these factors exert extremely strong pressure on resources.
Will we be able to feed the 10 billion people who will populate our planet in the coming decades? What are the solutions to meet this challenge in a sustainable way? These issues call for imminent change, and the answers will require us to rethink our agri-food habits.

A range of multi-disciplinary experts from the Planet@aliment project will be on hand to answer questions from the public:
=> Ève Fouilleux, CNRS politician, member of the Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Sciences Innovations Sociétés (LISIS), research associate at the MOISA Joint Research Unit in Montpellier.
=> Éric Verger, Nutritionist at IRD (MOISA Joint Research Unit)
=> Yves Vigouroux, Plant geneticist at IRD, Director of the DIADE Joint Research Unit.
