The First International Plant Health Conference

21-23 September, Queen Elizabeth II Centre, London

 

The First International Plant Health Conference aims to address new and emerging plant health challenges, including climate change impacts, the risks associated with significant increase in international trade, the rapid loss of biological diversity and new pest pathways such as e-commerce by exploring more efficient national, regional and global policies, structures and mechanisms.

 

Fera will be running poster sessions across the 3 days of the conference and attending with some of our early career scientists. Each day the theme of the posters will reflect the themes of the conference:

Day 1 - Food Security

Day 2 - Environmental Protection

Day 3 - Safe Trade
