题目：Global Developments in the Agricultural and Food industry: Implications for China and the World
报告人：David Hughes教授 伦敦帝国理工学院
报告背景：当前，国际金融危机持续蔓延、世界经济增长明显减速，对我国经济的负面影响日益加深，对农业农村发展的冲击不断显现。２００９年可能是新世纪以来我国经济发展最为困难的一年，也是巩固发展农业农村好形势极为艰巨的一年。在农业连续５年增产的高基数上，保持粮食稳定发展的任务更加繁重；在国内外资源性产品价格普遍下行的态势中，保持农产品价格合理水平的难度更加凸显。基于此，我们邀请了来自伦敦帝国理工学院的David Hughes教授给我们做一场关于农业和食品的全球化发展的学术讲座。
