 ncrease\, changes in size and nature of per capita demand\, national and i
 nternational governance of the food system\, climate change\, competition 
 for key resources and changes in values and ethical stances of consumers\,
  we are faced with the challenges of balancing future demand and supply su
 stainably\; ensuring stability in supply - protecting the most vulnerable 
 from volatility\; achieving global access to food and ending hunger\; mana
 ging the contribution of the food system to the mitigation of climate chan
 ge\; maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services while feeding the wor
 ld. Join Dr. Richard Godwin as he address these issues and offer possible 
 solutions.\nRICHARD J GODWIN   PhD\, Dr(hc)\, DSc\,  FREng\,  Hon FIAgrE\,
  Hon FRASE\, Fellow ASABE and Fellow RAS holds Professorships at Cranfield
  University\, Czech University of Life Sciences and Harper Adams Universit
 y Colleges respectively and in this capacity he supervises research progra
 mmes and provides academic leadership.  He has had a long career as a rese
 archer and educator in the field of agricultural engineering\, soil and wa
 ste management and precision agriculture.  His contributions have resulted
  in an improved fundamental understanding of soil - machine systems\; the 
 development of improved soil engaging tools and methods\; and the transfer
  of principles to designers\, extension advisors and farmers. The transfer
  of this through the development of training programmes in “Soil Managemen
 t”\, such as the BASIS programme\, has helped in both improved crop produc
 tion systems and the environment. He was lead author of the RASE report “T
 he Current Status of Soil and Water Management in England” published in 20
 08\; which reflected on the issues faced by UK Agriculture due to the lack
  of applied research and trained professionals to communicate with farmers
