The Informex Crop Production ＆ Breakfast Briefings

The Informex Crop Production & Breakfast Briefings

February 16-19, 2010 – San Francisco, CA

By 2030 the world will be demanding 50% more food; 30% more water and 50% more energy. The pressures put on global food supply from this increased demand will be magnified by other factors such as climate change and water shortages. These challenges present a tremendous opportunity for the agrochemical industry to provide new technologies and products which can help ensure sustainability in agriculture around the world.

In 2010, Informex will be enhancing and reinforcing our coverage of the wealth of opportunities in the global agrochemicals sector. Registered visitors to Informex will be able to participate in two free-to-attend breakfast briefings which will provide critical intelligence on key issues facing the industry. These include:

• Reinforcing the positive roles of agrochemicals in ensuring food supply sustainability
• An analytical overview of the global 2009 harvest and predictions for 2010
• Understanding the implications of international regulatory environment for pesticide use
• Exploring the rising importance of developing nations and the role of post-patent producers
• Climate change, water shortages, changing rainfall patterns and the effects on crop production
• Overcoming the negative public perception of agrochemicals and pesticide use

Informex is delighted to gather together a panel of leading experts to discuss, debate and explore one of the most important issues that the world will face over the coming decades. Whatever your involvement in fine chemicals, agrochemicals or crop production, our market-led Informex Crop Production Breakfast Briefings are too good an opportunity for you to miss.
