On behalf of the European Society for Agronomy and of the Agropolis scientific community, I was pleased to share with you the best of what Agronomy has to offer to meet the challenges of Agriculture in the XXIth century. We were 607 participants coming from 56 countries and I wish to thank all of you for your participation that made this first agronomy congress in Montpellier a success.

Final documents and oral presentations are now available on the website. We have uploaded also photos and videos. Do not hesitate to share and send us your photos or videos.

Further to the General Assembly held during Agro2010, several decisions were taken for the future of ESA. I am now Past president and the new President is Fred Stoddart from the University of Helsinky (Finland) where the XIIth ESA congress will take place in 2012.

Thanks to the assistance of Agropolis International, the ESA board has decided that ESA Secretariat will be ensured by this scientific association under my responsibility. A new website will be prepared for early 2011; several items and services will be especially proposed to ESA members but also to Agro2010 participants (online Agro2010 posters, proceedings...).
