41st European Society for New Methods in Agricultural Research (ESNA) Conference, Stará Lesná , Slovak Republic
24 September 2012 - 28 September 2012
Austria
Over the past 50 years intensive agricultural production lead to a dramatic change in farmland productivity and decline of biodiversity and environmental health in many regions of Common Europe. They are the result of continuing water pollution, soil degradation, accelerating climate change and even increasing demand for food and energy. The future of the EU common agricultural policy must be based on supporting sustainable agricultural practices, and related agricultural research to keep main EU’s goals and commitments, such as stabile crop productivity, food security and environmental health.
It is expected that on the course of 21st century many of well-known symptoms of climate change will take place. However, at present a great deal of uncertainities persists in the both diversity and depth of their effect on functional mechanism within the crop – canopy – ecosystem – region level.
We consider the joint topic of the ESNA meeting 2012 "Advances in agrobiology research and their benefits to the future" and the workshop"Recent advances in plant biotechnology” as the opportunity to group together the specialists from different fields of crop biology, ecology and improving technologies, who may go deeper into the research methodology and techniques of crop food, feed and bioenergy production under changing environment and be inspired in searching for new conceptional approaches of solving this problem. We also take into account knowledge of molecular biology, genetics and eco-physiology resulting in new technological practises in plant breeding as well as in plant/crop biotechnologies.
The main organizers of the 41st ESNA meeting 2012, the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra, Institute of Plant Genetics and Biotechnologies of the S.A.S. in Nitra and Plant Production Research Center in Piešťany are well experienced in the conference topic hoping to attract qualified specialists to put new ideas on a conference “round table” and strenghten the effort for more effective integration within the agricultural research. We believe the conference intention and scientific content supported by a friendly, familiar and enjoyable environment of High Tatras place will attract Your attention and meet all Your professional expectations!To register to the event, please see the following link: http://www.esna.uniag.sk/organizers-committees/foreword/(opens in new window)
