The agricultural sector is undergoing great change. The aim
of this meeting, Farming and the Environment: Partnerships
in Chemistry and Agriculture, is to provide an overview of
how chemistry is providing a means of creating innovative
products in this changing environment. The protection of natural
resources and development of novel crop products provide a
means for maximising economic return within the farming system.
Understanding natural systems and the chemistry of natural
materials are central to obtaining sustainability in farming
systems.
This meeting, organised by the Agriculture and Environment
Group, Environment Group, and Yorkshire and Humberside Section,
will be based around farm demonstrations and tours of dairy,
beef, arable and biomass production at Askham Bryan College,
York, UK, in the context of talks from experts that stress
the importance of maintaining quality assurance of produce;
novel uses of crop products; and the potential for using crops
as renewable industrial inputs.
The meeting will be relevant to anyone with an interest in
the future of farming, food, renewables and the application
of new technologies. For more information, please contact:
