Cambridge Global Food Security is a Strategic Research Initiative of the University of Cambridge that promotes interdisciplinary approach to addressing the challenge of ensuring all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and preferences for an active and healthy life.

Members of the Cambridge Global Food Security and other interested Cambridge researchers are invited to attend the Cambridge Global Food Security Initiative Symposium 2017, a day of multi-disciplinary talks and interactive sessions - including talks by Professor Tim Benton and Sir Brian Heap, two of the Initiative's External Advisors.
