"Compass Point: Hungry for Data" took place at the 7th Edition of the Future Investment Initiative on October 25th, 2023.
In 2023, the specter of hunger looms even larger as more than 345 million global citizens grapple with food insecurity, a scale that has surged twofold since 2020, paints the World Food Programme's report. The intertwined forces of conflict, climate change, supply chain upheavals and price hikes — especially in the Global South — have added layers of complexity to the fight against food insecurity. Could the intricate marriage of technology and data insights, spanning from predictive modeling of crop yields to monitoring of supply locations and price trends, wield the power to remodel global agriculture and unlock the potential for enhanced food security?
