| AGRO ENVIRON 2006
Ghent, Belgium 04-07 September 2006
For sustainable agricultural systems to meet the rising demands for food production, apart from economic and social benefits, also environmental impacts should be considered. The pressure and impacts of agricultural and horticultural activities on the environment in terms of soil, plant and atmosphere need to be controlled.
Expertise for controlling or reducing these agricultural constraints and improving agricultural efficiency through technological innovation should promote sustainable development and resource conservation while preserving social and economic profitability.
The symposium will cover a range of topics addressing key environmental agricultural and horticultural issues through applying new technologies that aim at sustaining agricultural systems, monitoring the environment and conserving natural resources.
