FOLKS CENTER ON BUSINESS AND THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME

The Folks Center for International Business featured a special address in March 2022 by David Beasley, former South Carolina governor and executive director of the U.N. World Food Programme, which was awarded the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize. Joining him for a panel discussion on “Business and the World Food Programme” were Johann Baar, an executive board member and the director for affordable housing and technology for the Hilti Foundation, and Val Dolcini, head of the business sustainability and government affairs North America for Syngenta.

Beasley (’79 USC interdisciplinary studies, ’83 USC J.D.) shared global insights as to how the conflict in Ukraine has driven hunger around the world and has been creating the worst humanitarian crisis since World War II.
