The 11th Water for Food Global Conference brings together thought leaders working to solve one of the world’s most pressing issues — feeding a growing planet while preserving our precious natural resources.
Throughout the conference, experts and practitioners in global food and water security will share research results, case studies and perspectives on how to achieve improved water use in agriculture and increase productivity at a variety of scales. In addition to engaging educational sessions, the conference also includes field visits and research site tours so attendees can meet local growers and researchers to experience the knowledge firsthand.
The five-day conference is held in and around Lincoln, Neb., USA, which is situated in the middle of a living laboratory and atop the vast Great Plains Aquifer. The event convenes 400 leading experts and organizations from around the globe to explore research, create technologies and share relevant knowledge. Participants will engage with academia, government agencies, policymaking groups, nonprofits, non-governmental organizations, entrepreneurs, water managers, growers and commodity boards, students and private industry.
