UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — More than 2 billion people experience moderate or severe food insecurity, meaning they have difficulty in regularly accessing enough nutritious food, per statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The demand for food will grow as the global population is expected to reach almost 10 billion by 2050.
Students in the international agriculture minor — commonly referred to as INTAG — in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences are learning more about global hunger by attending the 2020 World Food Prize Norman E. Borlaug International Symposium, which is taking place virtually this week.
