Perspective:

John Ulimwengu, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI

The global food system is the largest sector of the world's economy, and critical for the health of our planet—from land and water resources to plants, animals, and people. Managing this system is a huge responsibility, requiring women and men who are efficient, creative, and caring. Public, private, and not-for-profit managers are recognizing the need to produce nourishing and safe products sustainably.
