Towards future challenges of agricultural research in Europe
26 June 2007 - 26 June 2007
Belgium
A conference entitled 'Towards future challenges of agricultural research in Europe' will take place from 26 to 27 June in Brussels, Belgium.
Hosted by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Research, the conference will aim to stimulate a debate on research needs and the need for a coherent European research agenda by asking the following questions:
- Will biofuels replace oil as the main energy source and become the main crop for European agriculture? How will this affect food prices?
- How will the farm of the future look?
- Will Europeans eat more fish and fish products?
- How will climate change affect agricultural production in different parts of the EU?
The discussion will build on the results of a wide foresight process, initiated by the Standing Committee on Agricultural Research (SCAR), and aimed at identifying possible scenarios for European agriculture with a 20-year perspective and appropriate research responses.For more information, please visit:
