CropWorld, organised by United Business Media (UBM) and the British Crop Production Council (BCPC), will be taking place ExCeL, London from 1st – 3rd November 2010.
Formerly know as the BCPC Congress, this is the only event of its kind in the world to embrace all aspects of crop production and will use the combined experience of internationally-recognised experts to deliver a top-quality, content-rich conference programme, which will feature leading speakers from around the world and address a wide range of issues. Global food security, climate change, environmental and regulatory factors affecting crop production, the future for GM crops, agrochemicals, fertilisers, seeds and crop nutrients, water utilisation and irrigation are just some of the topics which will be addressed. The conference will also highlight the role of food retailers and producers, new products, compounds and approaches, the future for post-patent manufacturers, pesticide application and formulation, storage machinery, new technology, together with the policy and politics of crop production. Running alongside the conference will be an international exhibition featuring exhibitors from all over the crop world spectrum.
Speaking at the event's launch on the 4th March 2010, Jim Orson of the BCPC remarked:
“CropWorld builds on the foundations and heritage of the former British Crop Production Council Congress, which was successfully resurrected during 2009 in Glasgow by a partnership of UBM and the BCPC. However, it significantly extends its remit in terms of content and international appeal, the name having been very carefully selected to reflect the global nature of the event and the fact that it encapsulates the entire spectrum of sustainable crop production. The aim is to create maximum benefit to visitors, exhibitors and sponsors by delivering a world-class event which showcases the latest ideas, technology, techniques and crop intelligence.” For a taster of the CropWorld 2010, why not take take a look at our coverage from last year's BCPC Congress held at Glasgow SECC last November?
