As the global population increases from 7 billion in 2011 to a predicted 9.3 billion by 2050, the agri-food industry must find a sustainable way to meet the resulting demand for food. With this in mind, Alltech has announced its 2011 European Lecture Tour "Feeding the World - global demand, local response" which will address the challenges faced by the industry. Alltech's annual European Lecture Tour will begin on the 21st of March in Dunboyne, Ireland, and will visit 30 locations across Europe before concluding in Bern Switzerland on the 8th of April 2011.

Our expert panel of speakers will discuss how new tools such as nutrigenomics can change the way we feed our animals and ourselves; how recent regulatory innovations can differentiate agribusiness; how the "farm of the future" will look; and how agribusiness can sustain itself.
