SUMMARY:Cooks' Company Lecture 2026 - Food security: a battle between quan
 tity and diversity?
LOCATION:Cambridge University: Pembroke College
DESCRIPTION:Professor Johannes Kromdijk will deliver the 2026 Cooks' Compa
 ny Lecture\, 'Food security: a battle between quantity and diversity?' Thr
 oughout the course of the 20th century\, the quest to enhance food securit
 y has led to pronounced changes in crop production. During this period\, o
 ften referred to as the Green Revolution\, dramatic increases in crop prod
 uctivity were achieved\, sustaining an approximate tripling of the world p
 opulation. However\, food security is increasingly recognised to involve m
 ore than caloric sufficiency and instead may also need to factor in dietar
 y health and diversity. In addition\, diversity in the species used to sup
 ply our food is increasingly important to mitigate the impacts of a changi
 ng climate. In this talk\, I will explore to what extent these factors may
  have been juxtaposed historically and how this may look into the future.
