 r Thought 1.14</a>\nHome Programme Information Vaclav Smil: The future of 
 food in the age of less World hunger and obesity\, dwindling resources and
  food waste\, extensive farming and polluted seas: the future of the food 
 supply is giving cause for concern. Our level of consumption is harming ou
 r health and environment. We are demanding ever more of the same – an ec
 onomic course that can only end badly. Ecological solutions for Nature\, e
 conomic measures for industry? A silo mentality is not the answer. Food ha
 s become a highly complex system involving innumerable players. Those who 
 want to change it need to understand the broad picture. Vaclav Smil is one
  who does. The Canadian polymath scholar is an independent\, interdiscipli
 nary and fearless thinker. Though he has published over 30 books and 400 e
 ssays\, he has\, until recently\, been an insider tip. Now Bill Gates has 
 outed himself as an admirer: "I'm trying to read everything he writes". In
  his analysis of the future of food\, Smil combines topics such as energy\
 , ecology\, demography\, food production\, technology\, risk assessment an
 d politics. "Harvesting the Biosphere" (2013) is his fascinating survey of
  solutions that range from vegetarianism to genetic engineering. Smil will
  discuss the best and most surprising of these at the GDI\, giving us a gl
 obal perspective on the future of food in the Age of Less. Referent Daniel
