Food Security in the Asian Century

Abstract

This Sir John Crawford Memorial Address touches on aspects of the balance between demand for and supply of food, and on visionary approaches to food security that emphasise the importance of markets as well as production itself. Sir John Crawford had the vision of Australian economic integration with Asia. We need to draw on his vision and do the right thing by Australian farmers, the nation and the region by meeting the food security challenge head-on through rational economic policy making. The Sir John Crawford Memorial Address has been held since 1985, in honour of the distinguished Australian civil servant, educator and agriculturalist in whose name the Crawford Fund was established. Sir John was a remarkable Australian who contributed at the highest levels, and was a passionate supporter of international agricultural research for development.
