Challenge Climate Change
8th Agricultural Science Symposium on September 21, 2017
This year's agricultural science symposium of the HEZ took place on September 21, 2017 on the "challenge of climate change". Again this year, the response was great with over 130 participants.
Prof. Menzel from the TUM Professorship for Ecoclimatology introduced the topic with a look at past and current weather phenomena as well as observed and predicted consequences of climate change. The subject area was then considered from different perspectives (crop production and plant breeding, animal husbandry, climate protection policy and economy) and options for adaptation, mitigation, setting goals and implementing measures were discussed.
See the Flyer and here (Tagungsband) for more information.
There was a contribution to this in the weekly review “From Agriculture and the Environment”: http://br.de/s/33Y2DMS
On November 9, 2017, Bayern 2 broadcast a feature on the subject of "Perpetrators or Victims? The Farmers and Climate Change": http://br.de/s/37FAWiB
