5F Farming Conference

Today's agriculture is challenged by the need to build in climate resilience while increasing sustainable production of high-quality Food, Feed, Fibre, Fuel and Fine chemicals — the 5F. Plant breeders and crop improvement technologists are continuously engaged in judiciously combining innovation with traditional practice to achieve these ends.

Each year, outstanding keynote and invited speakers review recent developments in enabling technologies, evaluate best management practices for agronomy, nutrition and pest management, recommend farm automation to empower small-scale farmers, and dissect supply-chain challenges facing the grower — while giving professionals, students and other stakeholders a platform to network and learn from one another.
