'In this lecture which is a part of the University’s 50th Anniversary public lecture series, Professor Bill Davies CBE will deliver a short lecture and chair a panel of experts to explore questions around sustainable foods, the environmental and economic impacts on food production, and how we can ensure fair and efficient food distribution. Bill Davies has a degree in Horticultural Science from Reading University and a PhD from Forestry and Botany from the University of Wisconsin, USA. For the whole of his professional career in the UK he has worked at Lancaster University, most recently in the Lancaster Environmental Centre. He has a general interest in interventions that might enhance global food security, while his research group focuses on understanding how crop plants cope with adverse environmental conditions. The focus of much work has been exploitation of novel understanding of plant hormone relations, both in crop improvement and crop management programmes, aimed at increasing crop yield as the climate changes.'
