On Monday, July 21, The Chicago Council on Global Affairs’ Global Agricultural Development Initiative held a Twitter roundup on climate change and food security, as part of Devex’s Feeding Development campaign (#FeedingDev). We asked: what solutions do you think will help the world become food-secure in the face of threats from climate change?
The response was incredible! From across sectors and around the globe, CEOs, students, NGO leaders, and food and agriculture companies and organizations shared their solutions for a food-secure world:

Given our recent Global Food Security Symposium and our latest report, Advancing Global Food Security in the Face of a Changing Climate, we are thrilled to continue these important discussions on global food security and climate change.
The Feeding Development campaign is taking place throughout July with the goal of reimagining solutions for a more food-secure future. It is an online conversation that links the environment, land rights, supply chains, and nutrition to real progress, from seed and soil to a healthy meal. The conversation continues throughout the month—visit the Feeding Development campaign to learn more.
