DESCRIPTION:A Path from Impactful Development to Empowerment Without Jeopar
 dizing Environmental Health \n\nAs part of ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï’s 200th anniv
 ersary celebrations\, the University is organizing a hybrid side-event to 
 the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations Science 
 and Innovation Forum 2022.  This symposium is anchored by two moderated ro
 undtables comprised of diverse experts targeting Eco-innovation: Extending
  the scope of sustainability to drive changes and Transformational develop
 ment: Meeting global challenges.\n\nPerspectives include cutting-edge crop
  genetics and impact-generating co-conceptions of environmental and nutrit
 ional sustainability across scales ranging from local to international.\n
 \nShort videos from students and local Montrealer’s will act as catalysts\
 , at once inspiring and challenging each audience member to engage in find
 ing and adopting solutions.  Closely allied to the Faculty’s research prio
 rities\, questions to be addressed at this event include:\n\nHow can we de
 sign crops and practices for the future?\n	How can they be integrated into 
 sustainable food production systems?\n	How can we develop new approaches to
  resource management?\n	How can we better deliver safe\, high-quality and h
 ealth-promoting foods?\n \n\nAgenda\n\nIntroductory remarks\n\nProf. Chris

 ovation: Extending the Scope of Sustainability to Drive Changes\n\nIncreas
 ingly rapid global changes – climate\, technology\, population\, consumpti
 on and increased urbanization – affect ecosystems and their sustainability
  at all scales. \n\nHow can we support sustainable\, resilient and healthy
  social-ecological systems? \n	How can we advance the sustainable governanc
 e of food production systems at a range of scales? \n	What is the future ro
 le of plant breeding in tackling climate change? What are the next-generat
 ion plant breeding systems?\nSpeakers\n\nProf. Valerio Hoyos-Villegas\, Pl

 iversity\n\nRoundtable 2 – Transformational Development:  Meeting Global C
 hallenges \n\nGlobal demand for food production will continue to increase 
 to meet the needs of the world’s population. Integration of food security\
 , nutritional security and sustainable aspects is a complex task. Nutritio
 nal sustainability as a guiding concept calls for the development of more 
 efficient solutions of nutrition balanced in the limits of environmental c
 arrying capacity. \n\nHow can we integrate food\, nutrition and sustainabl
 e innovations to foster multiple dimensions and functions of nutrition-sen
 sitive food systems? \n	What are examples of advances in nutritional scienc
 e and food technology which have a great potential to integrate sustainabl
 e food systems with nutritional sustainability? \nSpeakers\n\nProf. Daiva
