Colorado State University’s sixth campus-wide International Colloquium will take place on Nov. 29-30 at the Lory Student Center. This year’s topic is Global Food Security & Sustainability: From Individual Responsibility to Global Health.
The two-day event will feature eight panel sessions designed to give students, faculty, staff and the public a better understanding of issues surrounding global food security and sustainability. The International Colloquium is organized by the Office of International Programs, with support from the Office of the President, the Office of the Vice President for Research, and the College of Agricultural Sciences.
CSU has invited experts from the public and private sectors to join faculty in an exchange of ideas on a range of topics including technology and innovation in agriculture, the relationship between food production and climate change, sustainable development, food systems, reducing food loss and waste, the link between animal welfare and food safety, and the role of nutrition in agricultural policy.
All sessions are free and open to the public and will be held at the Lory Student Center. View the full schedule here.
