The Botanical Society of Scotland Student Symposium will be held at the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh this year, after a 20 year break. The day promises to be full of interesting talks highlighting the diversity of botanical research in Scotland. It will be held on the 22nd September, and I would like to encourage students to submit abstracts for talks or for posters. Other researchers (non-students) are encouraged to attend too. This is the ideal opportunity for researchers in the early stages of their career in botany or plant science to discuss their research findings in a less intimidating environment, and to meet other botanical students (including undergraduates, Msc and PhD students). There will also be a keynote speech from Professor Richard Abbott (University of St Andrews). The cost of attending is £14, which includes lunch and coffee. I would also appreciate it if you could forward this to anyone else who might be potentially interested. The deadline for abstract submission (200 words) is the 24th July, and registration deadline is the 10th August. | ||

We are currently facing a food security crisis. Today, an estimated 852 million people worldwide are going hungry, while 2 billion do not have a regular, secure source of food due to the poverty they face (source: FAO).
By 2050 it is estimated we will need to grow double the amount of food to feed the world’s people, as population growth and changing food preferences increase pressures on land and water availability. This will need to be achieved against a backdrop of climate change which will exacerbate water shortages, reduce crop yields and create new pests and disease threats. And in the quest for new energy sources to power the world it is likely that biofuels will compete for space with agricultural crops.
Agriculture - on a large and small-scale - is central to food security and is struggling to keep pace with these escalating food demands. But with vision, commitment and co-ordination, the world can meet the challenges associated with food security by growing more and losing less of what it already grows.
