The keynote presentations and extended abstracts from October’s three-day International Conference on Global Crop Losses Caused by Diseases, Pests and Weeds are now available. The event was organised by INRA, through its SMaCH (Sustainable Management of Crop Health) and GloFoodS (Transitions to Global Food Security) metaprogrammes, and in partnership with CIRAD and ISPP (International Society of Plant Pathology).
The event, which also enjoyed the support of the AGMiP and MacSur international networks, involved some 80 participants from 20 countries and tackled the following key questions:
Eight keynote presentations were given, addressing different aspects of crop loss quantification, modelling and understanding, and are now available on the SMaCH website:
These keynotes provided the background for three work groups, which addressed the themes of crop loss definition, models for crop losses, and data: sources and sharing. Work conducted in each of these work groups will lead to a series of reports, including a white paper on crop loss data ontology.
