Looking to the future, the agrifood supply chain faces two grand challenges: feeding a growing population and ensuring that food is nutritious and healthy. These are grand challenges because of their complex, multifaceted natures, involving both demand- and supply-side drivers. On August 31, 2017, ILSI SEAR Australasia, in conjunction with AACC International (AACCI) hosted a symposium, Towards an Affordable and Sustainable Food Supply—Recent Advances and Future Prospects, in Sydney, Australia, to discuss what these challenges mean and some innovative solutions.
