Global Food Crisis - How are International Agencies responding

  • Date: 10 Dec 2008
  • Venue: Melbourne, Australia
  • Host: World Vision Australia, Deakin University
  • The Global Food Crisis Conference will present the work, approaches and policies of a range of agencies to address immediate and longer-term challenges.

    Australia's aid has great potential to further positively contribute to agricultural productivity in the Asia Pacific and further afield. There are direct benefits to health, nutrition, and to the environmental services being delivered from agricultural lands.

    This event is an opportunity for development workers, government staff, teachers and students to hear about policy initiatives and case studies illustrating what works.

    The conference is relevant to people from across the aid sector, whether involved in advocacy, development programming or emergency response, and will offer opportunity for both skills development and inter-agency collaboration.
