ASA President Susan Maher, who launched this year’s conference and theme “Ireland’s role in Global Food Security,” pointed out that, “In 2022, the Global Food Security Index ranked Ireland as the world’s second most food-secure country.

“It also concluded that significant policy improvements are required to further strengthen Ireland’s standing given the challenging and uncertain international picture.”
