Andrew Sharpless CEO of Oceana |
World population is expected to reach 9 billion people by 2050. By the same time, it's projected that humanity must increase food production by 70%. Yet, as terrestrial resources become increasingly limited and global fish catch continues to decline, an obvious question arises: How will we feed our growing population?
In this session, Andrew Sharpless will explain how saving the oceans may be the answer. Mr. Sharpless will discuss how a fully productive ocean can benefit both the environment and humanity, how it can responsibly feed 700 million people a day, and what it will take to get there.
Wednesday, September 26th, 2012 from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm.
Mayer Brown LLP
1999 K Street, NW
