SUMMARY:Crop Production in Northern Britain 2026
DESCRIPTION:CPNB 2026 (“The Dundee Conference”) is be the foremost Conference concerning environmental management and crop production and associated topics in northern environments. Whilst the long-established Association for Crop Protection in Northern Britain is not changing its name\, the change in the title of the Conference to Crop PRODUCTION\, reflects the wider remit of recent conferences. \n\nThe programme for CPNB is comprised of talks from invited speakers (TBC) mixed with the majority selected from submitted abstracts. This provides opportunities for early career researchers and professionals to introduce their work in an external meeting. \nThe scientific presentations at CPNB are usually divided into sessions on ‘Potatoes’\, ‘Combinable Crops‘ and ‘Agriculture and the Environment‘

SUMMARY:IPM and Biocontrol 2023: Increasing collaboration across the innovative cycle
DESCRIPTION:VISIT MEETING WEBSITE\nThe IPM Innovative Cycle involves inputs from four distinct yet interconnected sectors: Farmers/Agronomists\, Academic Researchers\, Industrial Researchers and Regulators. However practical experience suggests that there are unfortunate disconnects between these parts of cycle. \nThis event we will bring together participants from across the Innovation Cycle\, each of whom are working towards the ultimate aim of developing novel modes of plant protection. \nThe annual AAB IPM and Biocontrol meeting has a strong reputation as providing an opportunity for early career professionals to present their research. We will maintain this focus whilst bringing together those involved in the IPM industry\, government regulators and agronomists/ farmers who actually have the responsibility to maintain agricultural and horticultural productivity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract Submission \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe invite submission of abstracts from anyone involved in the IPM Innovative Cycle in order to provide either an oral or poster presentation at this event. These will join a selection of invited speakers who are experts in different areas of the innovative cycle. This event will include discussion sessions that will allow delegates to explore best practice to increase collaboration between members of the IPM innovative cycle.u \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 September 15th 2023. We hope to announce the meeting schedule with oral and poster presentations by the end of September 2023. \nSUBMIT AN ABSTRACT HERE\n\nRegistration opens on August 1st 2023. \nRegistration for in-person delegates closes November 1st 2023. \nRegistration for online delegates closes November 16th 2023.

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

SUMMARY:HortQFLNet_AAB Kick-off Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Over the past three years the UKRI-BBSRC funded HortQFLNetwork has acted as a collective voice for the UK horticultural and postharvest research community. The network has provided pump-priming funding for 20 projects and organisation of relevant events. The HortQFL network leadership is engaging in a new relationship with the Association of Applied Biologists in order to build-upon the excellent work of the network. The AAB will start a new specialist group in ‘Horticultural Quality and Food Loss’ which will lead to the organisation of activities and events in this important area to ensure scientists can continue to work together in pursuit of relevant Sustainable Development Goals. \nThe HortQFL network and the AAB are planning this event to celebrate the success of recently-funded research and to explore cutting edge opportunities to move the field forwards. We will hear from grant-awardees\, international keynote speakers and from a selection of speakers who have submitted abstracts to give an oral or a poster presentation. \nThis hybrid meeting is hosted at Cranfield University and is both the HortQFL Network annual meeting and the kick-off of the AAB ‘Horticultural Quality and Food Loss’ group. This is also the perfect follow-on from the 2022 AAB HortStresses meeting that was held at the University of Reading.

SUMMARY:Bringing Biocontrol and IPM to Market
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade\, the AAB “Advances in Biocontrol and IPM” Conference has become a popular fixture in the national calendar of events. The overall objective has been to create an annual gathering of the IPM community at which policy makers\, experienced researchers\, early career scientists and practitioners can detach themselves from their usual day-to-day pressures and become totally immersed in this important subject. To broaden its appeal still further\, we will continue with a hybrid format to enable both in-person delegates at our regular conference venue and those who prefer to join us online. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nScientific Sessions\n1. New Solutions\nAim: To attract presentations on latest developments and novel Biocontrol/IPM approaches nearing completion or recently launched \nConfirmed speaker: Lauren Dipenbrock (University of Florida) \n2. Future proofing development of sustainable control – gap analysis and innovation\nAim: To identify forthcoming gaps/problems the industry will face in effective transition to IPM from conventional chemicals; “New” pests arising from the loss of conventional products; Novel innovations under research to address these issues. \n– Recognizing the potential that in some cases only early/incomplete datasets may be available for some studies\, and in others there may be a need for caution regarding how much information is released\, this session will include both full papers and short lightening talks as required. \nConfirmed speaker: Chris Wallwork (Agrii) \n3. Making it work in the field\n Aim: To encourage contributions from Growers/ Supermarkets. \nConfirmed speakers: Ron Stobart (Sainsburys)\, Andy Howard (Local Farmer): \n Session 4: Bringing certainty for business: Comparing/contrasting global legislation for Biocontrol & IPM\nAim: Compare different legislator approaches to consider best practice. It is hoped various industry sectors would be interested in the regulatory environment (uncertainty; small size/limited resources ….) \nConfirmed speakers: Roma Gwynn (Biorationale)\, Michael Braverman (Rutgers University\, IR4)
