Convened annually by the Chicago Council’s Global Agricultural Development Initiative, the symposium on global agriculture and food security provides a platform for discussion about the US government and international community’s progress on addressing the problem of food insecurity. - See more at: http://www.thechicagocouncil.org/event-series/global-food-security-symposium#sthash.sNgHupqL.dpuf
Primarily, we’re hoping to find academics working in this field who would otherwise be interested in our work, but who we don’t know about. We would like to extend invitations to the Symposium to them, as well as updates on future research, publications, and events we may have that may be of interest to them.
If you're interested, send a quick email to June at nkwen004@umn.edu

As a Social Media Ambassador of the Global Food Security Symposium, I have been asked to engage a wider circle of stakeholders (professors, groups, and other community leaders ) with the Symposium.
