In this episode of Asia’s Farm to Fork: 5 Good Questions, we speak with Dr. Steven Webb, Executive Director and CEO of the Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS), about what it truly means to achieve food security in a changing world.
They explore:
- Why “food security is national security”
- The need for localized, systems-based solutions instead of one-size-fits-all approaches
- How innovation, regulatory reform, and technology adoption can unlock sustainable productivity
- Lessons from Canada’s success in reducing carbon footprints through agricultural innovation
- The crucial role of global trade, collaboration, and farmer empowerment in tackling hunger
Dr. Webb shares why the solutions to food security are “in front of us, not behind us,” and how science, policy, and partnerships must come together to feed a growing world responsibly.
