ABOUT THE SERIES:
The Big Issues Seminar Series was created in response to statewide faculty’s desire to adapt their teaching, research, and extension programming to address daunting global issues that will impact crop production, distribution, and consumption patterns. We have identified major themes, including Energy and Mineral Resources, Climate Change and the Carbon Economy, Diet and the Health Crisis, Data Applications and Ethics, and others, and are inviting well-known and respected forward-thinking speakers to engage us in this process. The seminar series serves as a forum for the future of agriculture that will be open to all. We have asked our speakers to present their view of the limits to growth, identify opportunities, and guide discussions that will inspire us to develop tools and applications for resilient systems and prepare new leaders for an increasingly complex future.
