Title: Biosecurity in the new Bioeconomy: threats and opportunities symposium program
The November 2009 symposium, Biosecurity in the new Bioeconomy: threats and opportunities, will explore how research and policy can contribute to the development of new sustainable crops for new bioindustries that pose only easily manageable economic, social or environment threats. The outcomes of this symposium will have a major impact on assisting science and policy development for managing safe production systems for the new crops of the 21st century. This symposium will also explore the enormous opportunities new crops offer 21st century custom-built integrated pest management strategies to deliver sustainable profitability for these new industries.
CSIRO will host this event which brings together national and international scientists to discuss a range of topics including:
the global bioeconomy
benefits, environmental risks and biosecurity issues of biofuel crops
research and development opportunities for bioindustries
national and international agricultural biosecurity policy.
