The Programme | Focus
on Food | Civic Reception
Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday
Your opportunity to participate
Glasgow from 10 to 12 November 2003, will be the
centre of the world-wide crop protection industry.
The programme for the Congress has been designed to reflect the
new mission of BCPC and will encompass three key themes:
- crop protection;
- crop production and the food chain;
- environment and regulation.
The programme
The scene will be set on Monday 10 November
by four keynote speakers: Prof
Ian Crute; Prof
Peter J Lillford; Dr Christine Bruhn; Dr
Dick Potts.
On Tuesday and Wednesday of the Congress there
will be concurrent platform presentations supported by static poster
presentations. Adequate time will be built into the Congress
programme to allow for discussion and debate. In addition,
there will be a series of participative workshops.

Focus on Food Forum
Food – from farm to fork – is
a key theme running throughout the Congress. To complement the Congress
Programme, a special interest Forum will run over two-half days.
On Tuesday 11 November the discussion will explore consumer and food industry
views of current trends in crop production and protection. Building on this,
the programme for Wednesday 12 November 2003 focuses on the future of crop
assurance. Delegates to the Forum have the option to attend either, or both,
of the sessions.
 This
forum is supported by Crops - the leading magazine
for the UK arable sector

Your Invitation to
attend the Civic Reception
The Civic Reception is an integral part of the Congress programme.
Delegates are invited to attend this event which will be held on Monday
11 November 2003 at the Glasgow Science Centre. Located just over the river
Clyde from the SECC, the Science Centre is one of Scotland's most visited
attractions.

The old certainty that the purpose of crop protection
was to deliver increasing crop yields has been swept
away by the economic, political and societal changes
of the last ten years.
The reality for the future, of which the mid-term
reform of the Common Agricultural Policy is a guide,
is that subsidies will be removed from production
and re-deployed to gain environmental benefits
and provide rural employment. In partial contradiction
to this, consumers expect the real cost of food
to decline, for production to be at worst environmentally
neutral, and for food to be both more nutritious
and ‘life-style’ appropriate.
Future crop protection must evolve from our current
practices to assist producers of food, (and fibre
and energy), to remain competitive at world prices,
whilst meeting the constraints imposed by regulators,
processors and retailers, and meeting consumer
aspirations.
This discussion session will debate crop protection
needs for an apparently contradictory future. To
provide a structure for the debate, in the months
leading up to this conference, a forum of experts
have been asked to provide their opinions of future
crop protection needs. The output of this forum
is included in the Congress Proceedings.

In UK, the number of agriculture students is declining
and fewer universities are delivering agriculture
courses. There are fewer agricultural scientists.
Farm size is increasing and the proportion of family
farms is declining. Farming is changing in response
to policy to give more attention to landscape management
and countryside stewardship. Increasingly, crop managers
need to be able to a) identify the various biotic
(weeds, pests, diseases) and abiotic (various forms
of stress) challenges occurring in crop production
systems, b) access and use decision support systems,
c) interpret the output for their own specific circumstances
and d) do this with due regard for biodiversity and
landscape. The latter are becoming more linked to
farm income via cross-compliance.
How do crop managers obtain the knowledge and information
to be able to carry out these tasks and is agricultural
education providing these needs? Can employers of
new crop science graduates expect them to have received
the necessary education and training? The aim of
this session is to discuss these matters and appraise
the current provision.
The session will start with brief contributions
from crop protection teachers and crop protection
practitioners in order to promote topics for discussion. |
