Food, sustainability & plant science: a global challenge
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=11&m=33490972&r=MTc2MDI0MTQ4MQS2&b=2&j=NTI0MzcyMjkS1&mt=1&rt=0
10th EMBO/EMBL Science & Society Conference
6-7 November 2009, Heidelberg, Germany
Examines the future of sustainable agriculture from the perspectives of plant science, technology & society. How can science contribute to global challenges such as how to feed a growing population, climate change and biological threats to yields? How can individuals determine if new technologies are safe and effective in the battle against hunger?
