"One World, our Responsibility - Climate, Forests and Agriculture": This is the motto under which the Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Gerd Müller, Kira Vinke from PIK and other speakers discussed forests, climate and nutrition at the opening events of the Green Week. To mark the opening of the International Green Week, the Australian Embassy also hosted a discussion on agricultural technologies. Here Benjamin Bodirsky from PIK discussed with other experts about innovations in agriculture and food production.
As part of the special programme of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development at the International Green Week, agricultural economist Hermann Lotze-Campen, head of the PIK research department Climate Resilience, will speak about healthy nutrition in a sustainable food system this Wednesday. The results of the EAT-Lancet Report will be the focus of the discussion with Minister Gerd Müller. From land use to the interactions between agriculture and climate change - how a plate fit for people's and the planet's health could look like will be demonstrated in the accompanying cooking show.
