The Crawford Fund's Annual Parliamentary Conference: Food and Nutrition Security – The Biosecurity, Health, Trade Nexus
The 2021 Crawford Fund Annual Conference is titled “Food & Nutrition Security – The Biosecurity, Health, Trade Nexus,” and is being held on 13 and 14 December 2021 in Canberra.
Making last year’s conference not possible, and overarching this year’s event, is the coronavirus pandemic. However, even outside of such extreme circumstances, the vast increase in and growing complexity of international trade, travel, tourism and density of development have placed ever growing challenges on maintaining plant and animal biosecurity, halting the rapid spread of infectious diseases and strengthening the protection of biodiversity. The hybrid conference will explore the specific risks to plant, animal, and human health, how these factors are putting global food and nutrition security in peril, and the emerging technological and management solutions to overcome these threats.
The conference features eminent international and Australian speakers and will open on 13 August with Dr Agnes Kalibata, UN Secretary General’s Special Envoy to the 2021 Food Systems Summit delivering this year’s Sir John Crawford Memorial address at the very popular networking dinner in the QT Canberra Ballroom.
The following day’s event will be in the Great Hall in Parliament House. Registration for in-person and online attendance is now open - please see the conference website for further details: https://www.crawfordfund.org/events/other-events/2021-conference/
