地球的未来悬而未决. Our negative impact on climate 而且 the environment is now largely accepted by scientists 而且 recognised by the public, 如果不能完全理解的话.
In the global drive to reverse our impact on the environment, 研究 而且 Knowledge Exchange can offer solutions to some seemingly intractable problems as well as aiding organisational 而且 public underst而且ing.
可持续性 is a major issue in agricultural production. How do we ensure food security in developing countries whilst protecting the environment? How do we limit the use of pesticides in crop protection without impacting on profitability? 然而, this challenge extends beyond food systems into broader issues of sustainability 而且 resilience within organisations 而且 across the general population. How do we underst而且, limit 而且 reverse the impact of climate change on the environment? How do we develop sustainable businesses 而且 business processes to drive forward environmentally conscious policies whilst enabling business growth 而且 maintaining profitability? How do we increase public underst而且ing of climate change?
Meeting these challenges requires basic research, 检查, 例如, the genetics 而且 molecular biology of plant-pathogen interactions. It requires applied 研究 而且 Knowledge Exchange which engages directly with farmers 而且 leads to the development of on-the-ground strategies for conservation management. It also requires multi- 而且 cross-disciplinary approaches that brings together plant scientists, 生态学家, 大气科学家, 地理学家, 心理学家, 社会学家, business 而且 management researchers 而且 educators to address the overarching challenge of securing our own 而且 the planet’s future.
