2: Tuesday August 31
Corum conference center
Parallel
symposia on scientific advances and challenges of interdisciplinary
research around Agronomy
-
"Combining
genetics and management to design crops for new challenges:
climate change, low input, green chemistry, improved quality"
(S2.1)
At
the crossroads of plant physiology, genetics and agronomy this
symposium will will address the design of crops for new challenges,
in particular adaptation to climate change, low inputs, biofuels,
green chemistry.
Chairs:
François Tardieu (INRA, Montpellier, France) and Graeme
Hammer (APSRU, Australia)
Oral
presentations >>
-
Ecological
intensification of cropping systems (S2.2)
The impact of current intensive agricultural practices on
biodiversity and ecosystems induces a need of exploring an
“ecological intensification” of cropping systems, whether
in European, Mediterranean or tropical environments.
Chairs:
Eric
Malézieux (CIRAD, UR Hortsys, Montpellier),
Marie-Laure Navas (Montpellier SupAgro & UMR Cefe, Montpellier,
France) and Jean-Luc Chotte (IRD & UMR Eco&Sols, Montpellier,
France)
Oral
presentations >>
-
Assessment
and design of agro-ecological technologies and policies for sustainable
development in agricultural regions
(S2.3)
Agronomists are not very active in development of national and
international policies on environmental protection, climate change,
and food security. Such a state of affairs is unacceptable given
the central role agricultural systems play with regard to each
of these issues.
Chairs:
Robert Lifran (INRA Montpellier, France), Martin van Ittersum
(Wageningen University, The Netherlands) and Jacques-Eric Bergez
(INRA Toulouse, France)
