The foundation focuses on three core areas related to agricultural production: food security, water security, and conflict mitigation. <!--break--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe growing global population challenges agricultural producers around the world to produce more with less,\u201d said USGC Chairman Julius Schaaf. \u201cThis population growth offers exciting opportunities but also comes with daunting challenges for our industry. Attendees should gain a refreshed perspective from Buffett on agriculture\u2019s role in the fight to end world hunger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An Omaha native, Buffett has been active in agriculture, business, conservation, philanthropy, photography and politics. Currently, he spends the majority of his time managing his foundation.<\/p>\n<p>He oversees a 1,500-acre family farm in central Illinois and farms in Nebraska with his son. He also manages three foundation-operated research farms: more than 1,525 acres in Arizona, 4,400 acres in Illinois, and 9,200 acres in South Africa. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuffett\u2019s background in agriculture and his foundation\u2019s work to develop agricultural resources in the most vulnerable and under-resourced communities gives him a unique perspective on global food security,\u201d Schaaf said. \u201cHis insights into improving global food security will be invaluable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grains.org\/news-and-events\/events\/54th-annual-board-delegates-meeting\/event-registration\">Register today<\/a> for the Council\u2019s annual meeting. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grains.org\/news-and-events\/events\/54th-annual-board-delegates-meeting\">Click here<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grains.org\/news-and-events\/events\/54th-annual-board-delegates-meeting\/event-registration\"> <\/a>to learn more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Howard G.
