Plant food systems: Challenges

Our focus was a comprehensive exploration of sustainable plant food systems, with a focus on the agricultural sector. Food systems incorporate many aspects. Our dialogue focused on various relevant aspects to sustainable plant food systems: 1) Domestic production (quantity and composition); 2) Means of production; 3) Productivity improvement,  4) Sustainable plant production; and 5) Production profitability. Each topic was discussed separately in a round table format. The emphasis of the first dialogue was to identify and define the major challenges in each field.
