Climate Change & Plant Protection
The Science, The Impacts and The Options
The Climate Change and the Implications for Plant Protection symposium explores the impact of climate change on the global agriculture industry. Gain valuable insights from scientists from around the world conducting cutting-edge scientific research in this field. You will walk away from this symposium with a better appreciation for:
- The real and urgent issues facing the global agriculture industry today.
- The potential impacts of climate change on agricultural pests, pathogens and weeds.
- Ways to mitigate and adapt to the inevitable changes facing the industry.
Not only will you learn from listening to scientists and other experts in the field, but you will also participate in workshops covering the assessment of climate change impacts for plant protection; the assessment of socio-economic impacts of climate change; and on communications issues associated with climate change.
