The 2024 Distinguished Guest Lecture at the University of Warwick was entitled “A more volatile world: implications for food security and how to achieve it”.
Guest Speaker, Professor Tim G. Benton is a Distinguished Fellow in the Environment and Society Programme at Chatham House, having served as Research Director and head of the Centre (2019-24). He first joined Chatham House in 2016 as a visiting fellow, at which time he was also dean of strategic research initiatives at the University of Leeds. From 2011-2016 he was the ‘champion’ of the UK’s Global Food Security programme which was a multi-agency partnership of the UK’s public bodies (government departments, devolved governments and research councils) with an interest in the challenges around food.
The Elizabeth Creak Charitable Trust were delighted to attend to listen to this years’ insightful and thought provoking lecture.
