Satellite on 9 June: “Applied Climate Research in Africa”
 

Africa is highly exposed and vulnerable to climate variability and change impacts. Climate change hits the most vulnerable smallholder farmers hardest and contributes to food insecurity, deprived soils and stress on water resources. The session “Applied Climate Research in Africa” will showcase and discuss how science can translate into improved farming systems and crops that are more climate-resilient and ultimately lead to a more sustainable and intensified agriculture and better food security. More info

You can join the satellite event for free if registered for the conference.
