The Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry (KSLA), in collaboration with the Bertebos Foundation, arranges this symposium to highlight how integrating advances in science and breeding can contribute to meeting global food demand as production environments become more variable and constrained. The symposium will explore how scientific innovation can be translated into resilient crop cultivars that generate tangible benefits for society.
Several SLU researchers participate in the programme and the discussions.
