RESILIENT FOODS AND CLIMATE CHANGE

Global climate change causes more frequent and extreme weather events along with an increasing temperature. In many regions of the world, this lead to considerable changes in phenomena such as droughts and floods. These changes affect the agricultural systems, and the weather extremes can potentially destabilize food systems and global food security, so is imperative to develop resilient crops and sustainable use of plants. In this session, we will discuss possible solutions and innovative strategies for a more sustainable and robust agricultural system in a future scenario.
