The study of hypernuclear physics has provided a significant amount of information regarding the structure and weak decays of light nuclei containing one or two (light) hyperons. From a theoretical standpoint, little is known about the hyperon-nucleon interaction, which is required input for systematic calculations of hypernuclear structure. Furthermore, the long-standing discrepancies in the P-wave amplitudes for nonleptonic hyperon decays, central to a better understanding of the weak decays of hypernuclei, remain to be understood. This talk will outline possible future Lattice QCD calculations, a new step towards a better understanding of the weak and strong interactions between baryons with valence strange quarks.
