The current food system is failing and unsustainable. Leaders offer inadequate solutions to hunger and poverty, a critical issue given the UN's projection of 2 billion more people by 2050, primarily in urban areas.

Achieving a fair, just, and equitable food system requires radical new thinking and significant effort. Renowned food activist Karen Washington argues for a dramatic transformation, not just a fix.

Oceans cover 71% of Earth, sustaining over a billion people. Yet, overfishing is rapidly depleting this vital resource, threatening life and protein for a hungry planet.

Fortunately, oceans are remarkably resilient. Ten countries manage most wild seafood, and Oceana has achieved critical policy victories in many, safeguarding over a million square miles.

We can reverse this decline by ending overfishing, controlling bycatch, and protecting ocean nurseries. Join Oceana today to help ensure bountiful oceans for generations to come.

Sustaining agricultural productivity amidst population growth, climate change, water scarcity, and declining soil health presents a daunting global challenge. California, currently in its fourth year of severe drought, serves as ground zero for these unprecedented pressures on farmers and supply chains. This plenary uses California as a case study to highlight key strategies and tough choices for feeding the world's seven billion people while preserving the planet.

Speakers include Brooke Barton (Senior Program Director, Water Program, Ceres), Dennis Dimick (Executive Editor, Environment, National Geographic Magazine), Janet Ranganathan (Vice President for Science and Research, World Resources Institute), and J. Miles Reiter (Chairman, Driscoll's Inc.).
