COP26 - What does it mean for the future of agriculture?

Synopsis

This webinar will provide an introduction to the SCI's Agrisciences Group and give an insight into how the SCI's Agrisciences Committee works.

SCI's Agrisciences Group is a unique multidisciplinary network covering the production, protection and utilisation of crops for food and non-food products. We have 250 members including academic and industry leaders, researchers, consultants, PhD students and postdocs, lecturers, and retired members.

SCI’s Agrisciences Committee has 18 members and works on behalf of the Group to organise conferences, facilitate networking, provide career support, produce articles for SCI journals including Pest Management Science and the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, and organise visits to external organisations. The committee supports people at all stages of their career - whether these are individuals looking for their first role or experienced professionals in the agrisciences sector.
