Future climate scenarios put increasing pressures on the environment and on our food production systems.
Rising greenhouse gas emissions are causing increasing temperatures and are changing global weather patterns, seasonal cycles, rainfall patterns, disease pressures and cause water scarcity in many regions.
Nevertheless, the world needs to produce about ~40% more food and fibre to meet the demands of an estimated 9.4 billion people by 2050.
Join the University of Sydney’s plant scientists online this National Science Week to get insights into their exciting research aimed at meeting these challenges.
Hear from our scientists and participate in a range of activities that emphasise the critical role that plant science and agriculture play in safeguarding our future food security.
Supported by the Australian Society of Plant Scientists for National Science Week 2021.
