SUMMARY:Webinar: Safeguarding the World’s Food Supply – An Introduction to the Crop Trust
DESCRIPTION:Join The Global Plant Council for a new webinar with the help of Janny van Beem (Crop Trust global genebank partnership coordinator)\, where we will explore the work done by The Global Crop Diversity Trust (Crop Trust).\n\nCrop Trust is an international organization committed to preserving the world’s crop diversity. As climate change\, population growth\, and environmental challenges threaten food security\, Crop Trust ensures that the genetic diversity of crops remains protected for future generations. During the webinar you’ll learn how Crop Trust supports global seed banks\, including the renowned Svalbard Global Seed Vault\, and how its work contributes to resilient agriculture and sustainable food systems. For plant scientists\, the webinar will highlight opportunities for collaboration in crop conservation and research.\n\n\nTo register: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_SgPxBFRVSu-Z5Mj2v1Qq4w

SUMMARY:Konzo: forgotten but not gone - Introducing the International Working Group for safe cassava
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an enlightening webinar titled “Konzo: Forgotten but Not Gone\,” where we will introduce the International Working Group for Safe Cassava. \nIn this session\, Prof Ros Gleadow from Monash University (Australia) will interview Dr Julie Cliff of the Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM) in Mozambique\, a leading expert on Konzo—a neurological disease linked to the consumption of improperly processed cassava. \nAlongside the interview\, Prof Ros Gleadow will also provide a brief presentation on the group’s efforts to ensure cassava safety worldwide. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about a critical\, yet often overlooked\, global health issue. \nThe webinar is the first in a series we hope will fill the gap left by the CCDN (Cyanide in Cassava Disease Network) news which is no longer published. \nDate: 5th September 2024\nTime: 15:00 CET \nKonzo materials:\nhttps://biology.anu.edu.au/research/centres-units/konzo-prevention-unit

SUMMARY:28th Asian Pacific Weed Science Society Conference
DESCRIPTION:The 28th Asian-Pacific Weed Science Society Conference (APWSS 2023) will be held from 26 to 29 November 2023 at Phuket\, Thailand. \nThe theme will be “WEED SCIENCE SOLUTIONS FOR GLOBAL FOOD SECURTY”. This will be a significant event to all the researchers\, practitioners and consumers to meet and discuss the development and challenges in weed management. This conference is jointly organized by APWSS and Weed Science Society of Thailand. Other details about the APWSS 2023 conference may be obtained from: https://apwss.org.in/ or www.apwss2023-phuket.com \nThe conference will  cover a wide range of topics regarding weeds\, invasive weeds and their management\, weeds ecology\, biology\, physiology\,   integrated wed management in cropped areas\, non-cropped areas and aquatic systems; herbicide tolerant crops\, herbicide resistant weeds\, allelopathy\, biological weed control\, impact of climate change on weeds and weed management\, herbicide behaviour on soil and water\, education and extension in weed science\, herbicide formulations and application technology\, novel herbicides and their mode of action\, utilization of weeds\, precision and advanced weed management technologies. \nThe International Weed Science Society (IWSS) is offering a travel grant of $500 per student for three outstanding M. Sc. and Ph. D. students\, from developing countries\, to present their research (oral or poster) at the 28th Asian-Pacific Weed Science Society Conference (APWSS2023) (https://www.apwss2023-phuket.com/scholarship/). \nThe abstracts of papers may be submitted online until 31 May 2023 at  https://www.apwss2023-phuket.com/abstract-submission/

SUMMARY:6th International Rice Congress 2023
DESCRIPTION:The International Rice Congress is a scientific platform for rice-based food systems innovators to work towards shaping a food- and nutrition-secure future. Convened by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) every four years\, the Congress brings together scientists\, experts\, and decision makers from the government\, private\, and public sectors to formulate evidence-based solutions to some of the biggest challenges of the global rice sector. \nPrevious IRC editions were held in Beijing (2002)\, New Delhi (2006)\, Hanoi (2010)\, Bangkok (2014)\, and Singapore (2018). This 2023\, IRC will be held for the first time in the Philippines\, the home country of IRRI Headquarters.

SUMMARY:Plant Food Waste Valorisation –Opportunities and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Visit Event Website\nHybrid Event hosted at the Newlyn Building\, University of Leeds\n\n\nGlobally around a third of total food produced is lost or wasted along the agri-food chain\, with consequent high impact to environment\, society and economy. In particular\, the fruit and vegetable production and processing contributes significantly to agri-food waste generation. This waste is a huge resource for bulk usage as well as specific ingredients including protein\, fibre\, phytochemicals and others\, with many innovative solutions available or being developed. This two-day event conference will provide an overview on current state of the art in the agrifood waste valorization field\, trends\, opportunities and challenges. \n\n\nMeeting Themes\n>Valorization concepts & feasibility\n> Targeting sources and ingredients\n> Innovations into material design\n> Trends in food\, feed and nutraceutical applications\n\nIt’s appropriate for the event to be organised at the University of Leeds as Yorkshire and the Humber are the UK’s biggest food producing region. \n\nThe event begins at lunchtime on Monday September 11th and end in the afternoon of Tuesday 12th. We include an evening poster session\, drinks reception and hot buffet on the evening of September 11th. Accommodation is not included but there are lots of options available in Leeds. \n\n\n\nABSTRACT SUBMISSION\n\n\nWe invite submission of abstracts from anyone involved in process of food waste valorization to provide either an oral or poster presentation at this event. We especially hope to link academic researchers with industry practitioners that are using innovative technologies in the valorization of food waste.. \n\nWe will assembly the meeting sessions\, oral and poster presentations from submissions received from both in-person and online delegates. Abstracts should be submitted by July 14th 2023. We hope to announce the meeting schedule with oral and poster presentations by the end of July 2023. \nSUBMIT AN ABSTRACT HERE BEFORE JULY 14th \nREGISTRATION OPENS ON MAY 1ST 2023
