Abstract:
Rising obesity, food insecurity, a lack of quality education and safe water for the poor in the developing world are some of the global societies entrenched problems. Whose job is it any way to solve these problems? For decades, the answer to the question has been simple: government. Today we live in a different world where a new economy has emerged. The new “solutions economy” represents not just an economic opportunity, but a new strategy for solving many of the global nutrition and health problems. This presentation explores how, in today’s new “solutions economy,” solving social problems is becoming a multidisciplinary exercise that challenges businesses, governments, philanthropists and social enterprises to think holistically about their role and their relation to others—not as competitors but as collaborators serving as many stakeholders as possible.
