Through three panels of policymakers and scholars from law schools across the country, explored how best to conceptualize and define the problem of scarcity, the regulation of scarcity and its potential impacts, and how to work forward in addressing the problem from the current available solutions.

Executive director of the United Nations World Food Programme Ertharin Cousin delivered a keynote address exploring projects addressing agricultural problems including cooperatives to produce more food and stimulate production, nutrition and education in the time from conception to the second year of life, and methods for helping communities deal with climate change.

This conference was presented by the Georgia Journal of International and Comparative Law and the Dean Rusk Center for International Law and Policy.
