EDGS Talk: We Will (Not) Be Hungry: Farmer Welfare and Indonesia's Food Security Ambition

Monday, April 14, 2025 | 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM CT
720 University Place, Buffett Institute for Global Affairs, Roberta, Evanston, IL 60208 map it

As part of Indonesia's Vision for 2045, which marks the nation's 100th anniversary of independence, the government aims to achieve high-income status, reduce poverty to almost zero, attain food self-sufficiency, and position the country as the world's food barn. Yet critical questions remain about the adequacy of efforts to improve the welfare of those who grow the nation's food: farmers.

Join the Buffett Institute and its Equality Development & Globalization Studies (EDGS) program for a public talk with Buffett Visiting Scholar Sarah Gultom, Assistant Professor of Business Innovation at Monash University in Indonesia, on the imperative of prioritizing the welfare of farmers as a fundamental component of Indonesia's path to food security.

Refreshments will be served beginning at 3:45 p.m.

Please note that 720 University Place is not an ADA-accessible space. Increasing physical access to buildings and facilities is a goal of the University, but not all buildings and venues have been updated.
