>> The 10th joint EMBO/EMBL Science & Society Conference will examine the future of sustainable agriculture from the perspectives of plant science, technology and society.
>> How can science contribute to addressing global challenges such as the requirement to feed a growing population, climate change and biological threats to yields? How can individuals make informed decisions whether the new technologies are safe and effective in the battle against hunger?
>> Following a scene-setting keynote talk addressing the current global state of agriculture and food supply, the conference is composed of four sessions:
- Plant breeding and the maintenance of diversity
- Breeding and the molecular genetics that support it
- Enhancing plants by GM
- Public perception and risk assessment
