Agricultural greenhouse gases (GHG) and ammonia mitigation: Solutions, challenges, and opportunities. VISIT EVENT WEBSITE Farming systems are under unprecedented pressures to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and ammonia in the face of ambitious policy targets. It is widely recognised that the land-based sector will need to make a significant contribution to greenhouse gas mitigation in […]
VISIT EVENT WEBSITE Understanding and managing biotic and abiotic stresses of horticultural crops Horticultural crops are facing unprecedented challenges in the face of global warming and climate change. As weather becomes more extreme and unpredictable in future decades, growers will need access to crops capable of withstanding periods of severe environmental and biological stress. The […]
Gene editing is a game-changing technology that has the potential to transform agricultural productivity. Use of this technology provides opportunities to mitigate the damaging effects of climate change and to better protect food security. However the use of this technology is not without controversy given its close alignment with related but different genetic modification (GM). […]
Filling of the of the Agricultural Sprayer with crop protection products can be a complex, time consuming task which impacts the operator’s ability to apply product in a timely manner. It also is the area of maximum exposure for the operator to the product and carries the highest risk of point source contamination. With increases […]
