Changing Nature of the Food System
• A major industry in Cambodia and many developing countries
• Rapidly changing
• Shift from production to post-production industries
• Need to address challenges and threats to global food security
• Climate change, population growth, urbanization, increasing incomes
• Rising demand for access to information
• Creating need for new knowledge and skills among food system workers

GCFSI/Team 3
Focuses on the:1
• Human skill implications of ongoing food system transformations and threats to global food security
• Best approaches to producing those skills, and
• Institutional innovations that are needed if these skills are to be developed in an ongoing, sustainable fashion

Nature of Change Needed to Address Evolving Skills in
Food System
• Interdisciplinary – multiple disciplines working together to address
emerging needs
• Inter-institutional – universities and vocational schools sharing
capacities
• International – countries developing policies to foster collaboration
in training programs
