InterDrought 8

Join us at the Eighth InterDrought Congress to tackle one of agriculture’s biggest challenges—drought.

As climate change worsens water scarcity, collaboration between disciplines is key to strengthening crop resilience.

Join us to integrate breeding, physiology, agronomy and environmental perspectives to drive innovation. Together, we can make a difference!

 

The Conference

The InterDrought conference has been held on all continents since its inception in 1995, except in South America. This continent offers a very diverse set of agricultural systems increasingly exposed to drought, including dual-purpose crops (feed crops) and grasslands.

 

Also, South America is home to an outstanding community of scientists researching areas ranging from optimizing production to understanding the physiological basis of genetic gain to applying new and improved breeding strategies (including establishing and leveraging information from managed stress environments).

 

We believe that the worldwide scientific community will greatly benefit from harnessing the diversity of culture and thought. Furthermore, the InterDrought community will be greatly enriched by welcoming and creating an opportunity for scientists from a new continent to participate in this forum. Therefore, the addition of the South American community to the InterDrought will make us a whole worldwide community with local and regional representation across the globe.
