Event details
Some of our top interdisciplinary researchers meet at Speakers' Corner to shout about some hot topics; for example, Professor Guy Poppy states: 'As the population grows and the climate continues to change we face a perfect storm by 2030. If we need 50% more food, 50% more energy and 30% more water, how do we sustainably achieve this from an environment in which we live?'
