  • As global trade flows and relationships shift, what are the impacts on market participation and access? What economic opportunities are emerging?  
  • How do unstructured short-term changes impact regional food security, and how can we build more agile local supply chains able to absorb and adapt to shocks?
  • How can we anticipate and prepare for structural long-term changes, and what future-proofing strategies are governments, corporates, and investors implementing to address systemic challenges like climate change, resource scarcity, and demographic shifts?  What role does technology play in these approaches?
