The
Tata-Cornell Agriculture and Nutrition Initiative (TCi) offered funding
to bring Young Indian Scholars (Indian citizens based in India), who
have an accepted paper/poster to the 2nd International Conference on
Global Food Security. Diversity of perspectives and experiences must be
prioritized, especially at a “global” event. We look forward to hearing
more about their work! Look for these posters and presentations at the
