Network for Emerging Leaders in Sustainability (NELS)
Next Event-Report Launch
NELS would like to invite you to the launch of a new report from the National Research Council summarizing two workshops held in 2011 on sustainable global food security. The first workshop explored the availability and quality of commonly used indicators for food security and malnutrition; poverty; and natural resources and agricultural productivity. The second workshop examined ways to sustainably increase global food supplies, natural resource constraints, and necessary policies. Dr. Per Pinstrup-Andersen, chair of the authoring Committee on A Sustainability Challenge: Food Security for All, will talk about the report as well as share some of his recent research on food policy challenges and opportunities.

The Network for Emerging Leaders in Sustainability (NELS) is an organization for early-career professionals (and professionals who are new to the topic of sustainability) who are interested in building bridges with peers in DC-area agencies and organizations. The Network includes leaders with diverse backgrounds and expertise, from natural resource management to energy policy to public health. NELS members share a common interest in taking a multidisciplinary approach to sustainability challenges -considering the economic, environmental, social, and cultural dimensions of these problems. Through NELS, these emerging leaders will foster relationships that enable them to more effectively bring about a sustainable future.
