The China－EU Workshop on New Technologies
and Methods in Crop Molecular Breeding
20 – 22 June 2011, Beijing, China
Objectives
China and the EU are dedicating great R&D
efforts in agriculture, aquaculture, food security and food safety. They both
face common challenges, such as the growing demand for safe, nutrious and
affordable food given the constraints of land, water, energy and in face of the
environmental limits (e.g. soil erosion, and combined effects of climate change
impacts and biodiversity loss). The sustainable exploitation of biological
resources for a secure and healthy food supply, animal feed and a wide range of
sustainable materials and technical products, will require careful use of land,
more and better use of the oceans, and a shift to systems that produce more from
less.
The EU-China partnership initiative in crop
breeding to be launched on June 20, 2011 is a very important new instruments
that may serve as model to reinforce a systematic co-operation at the level of
EU and China programmes and beyond.
