The call for sustainable intensification of crop production by the UK government´s food and farming report focused attention on the need for increasing productivity, while reducing the negative environmental impacts associated with overuse of resources. This seminar is an opportunity to hear the current developments in crop production techniques from speakers with scientific expertise and experience of production strategy, who will evaluate the potential for more extensive adoption of integrated crop management. It will cover the latest legislative developments, such as consequences of implementation of recent pesticide legislation, explore wider social responsibility issues, and point the way forward for a more sustainable fresh produce supply chain.
