Saint Mary's University-Winona Hosts Food Insecurity Forum

The acute suffering in East Africa is justifiably garnering headlines, but well beyond this crisis is an enduring challenge: how to deliver enough food to a growing world population amid diminishing crop yields and climate vagaries that threaten future growing seasons with drought and disease.
