International conference on diversifying crop protection, La Grande Motte, France

The EU-funded ENDURE Network of Excellence (NoE) is organising an international conference on diversifying crop protection from 12 to 15 October in La Grande Motte, France.

The most recent advances in all aspects concerning the durable exploitation of crop protection strategies will be presented by scientists and guest speakers in plenary sessions and specialised sessions. While the plenary sessions will be dedicated to global challenges for crop protection and food safety in the larger context of sustainable and ecological agriculture and the perspectives of a variety of stakeholders, the specialised sessions will encompass three main areas:
- implementation: applying existing tactics and strategies;
- innovation: building innovative strategies for tomorrow;
- impact and governance: assessing progress toward sustainable development.

The event is designed for all researchers, scientists and specialists involved or interested in sustainable agriculture and crop protection.For further information, please visit:
