The United Nations has set a clear goal: to end global hunger by 2030 (Zero Hunger). However, as the planet warms, soils change, and the global food system enters one of the most unstable periods in modern history, it is clear that existing models are no longer sufficient.
Gladys H. Morales, Global Head of Innovation at the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), comes from the very center of solutions that combine technology, artificial intelligence, and a new generation of agriculture-one that must feed the world under conditions of climate disruption. Many crops are increasingly unable to withstand drought, pollinators are disappearing, and the natural rhythms we have relied on for centuries no longer apply.
At the same time, innovations that until recently existed only in laboratories are now transforming how we grow, produce, and distribute food. In this lecture, we will explore precision agriculture, regenerative methods, AI-driven solutions, and new approaches to cultivation.
Because technology gives us the opportunity to make the food system more resilient, smarter, and more equitable than ever before.
