Hart To Discuss Food Security At Conference
Friday, October 23, 2009
Stuart Hart, director of WDI’s Green Leap Research Initiative, will talk about food security at an upcoming conference in Washington, D.C.
Khalid Al-Naif, director of WDI’s Development Consulting Services, will moderate a panel discussion on the topic following Hart's speech.
Hart will be the keynote speaker on the second day of the five-day SEEP (Small Enterprise Education and Promotion) Network Annual Conference called Powering Connections ’09.
The second day of the conference is titled, “Food Security: Exploring New Pathways.” Hart’s talk will kick off a day of workshops and panel presentations that will introduce new enterprise-based approaches to the lack of food security.
Hart, a top thinker on base of the pyramid (BoP) issues, will highlight the need for a new generation of BoP strategies that stress the co-creation of products and the commercialization of “green” technologies. The discussion will emphasize how the new generation of BoP strategies will connect business and communities in a collaborative process for innovation and change.
While also at the conference, Hart will participate in a panel discussion about the Green Leap.
