Horticultural Science: From Discovery to Application
March 26 - March 27
The AAB Horticultural Quality and Food Loss Specialist Group are delighted to organise a two-day event that brings together researchers working on both fundamental and applied research in Horticultural Crops.
This is a research area undergoing significant transition due to the sensitivity of many horticultural crops to changing climate conditions. Across the world this is impacting where, when and how horticultural crops are grown. As such this event will explore the scientific progress that underpins climate adaptation in Horticultural crops.
This event is a collaboration between the AAB and Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology (JHSB), who are celebrating publication of 100 annual volumes.
The Horticultural Quality and Food Loss Specialist Group inaugurated in 2023 as a follow-on from the BBSRC-funded HortQFL Network. This group aims to bring together academics, consultants and members of industry to explore the challenges of maintaining horticultural quality and reducing food loss.
The JHSB celebrated its centenary in 2019 and in 2025 will publish the 100th volume and is celebrate this with this collaborative event. The JHSB enters its second century with a rising impact factor, attracting worldwide authorship and readership and a firm financial platform. The JHSB is an independent publication not linked to a learned society and its charitable objectives are: “to advance research into the science and practice of agriculture with particular reference to horticulture and assist in the dissemination of the results of the that research work by the publication of a Journal”.
