Ukulinga Howard Davis Memorial Symposium: Food Security - Where to from here?
Print

An invitation is issued to interested parties to submit intentions to participate in the 2nd Ukulinga Howard Davis Memorial Symposium, to be held on the 23rd and 24th of May 2017 at the Ukulinga Research Farm, with a theme of FOOD SECURITY: WHERE TO FROM HERE?

The theme serves to impress upon our collective conscience the role of agriculture and its related disciplines in the sustainability of food production and security in Africa. Is Food Security more than just food?

If you are interested in current dilemmas for innovative socio-economic development, including health, gender, biotechnology, land issues, postharvest technology, production practices, GIS technology, extension services and more, we encourage you to participate.
 
Participants may make use of displays, posters, presentations, sponsorship or attendance to share in
our vision of making UKZN research relevant, topical and dynamic in its response to contemporary social and ecological scenarios.
 
Guest speakers include Dickson Despommier, Emeritus Professor of Microbiology and Public Health at Columbia University , USA; and Professor Ben Cousins, SARChI Chair in Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies at the University of the Western Cape.
 
Please indicate your expression of interest in our symposium by 10 March 2017 for inclusion in a dynamic programme that will include technical, academic, practical and social involvement. The programme includes the Friends of UKZN Agriculture Networking Function on the evening of the 23rd May 2017.
 
We gratefully acknowledge funding from the Howard Davis Farm Trust in their endeavor to see communities benefit from knowledge integration between higher education institutions and agricultural stakeholders.
