| Session Description |
The broad international view reckons that food prices are likely to remain high in the coming decades as global food production cannot keep up with demand, with adverse weather conditions affecting harvests, degrading soils, water scarcity for irrigation, increasing population and rapid urbanization. If climate change projections are included, most of today’s key agriculture regions will potentially experience more extreme rainfall distribution, which can severely impact food production through more frequent/severe droughts and floods. The session invites abstracts on the issues related to food security - crop modelling, impact studies, supply chain, agriculture, agronomy and food production systems. |
