Café Scientifique - Can we predict the future of farming?

Agriculture is an incredibly complex and risky undertaking. Most of humanity depends on farmers’ abilities to produce enough food to feed the rest of us: 8.3 billion people today. But with the climate changing and the global population expected to reach 10.3 billion by 2080, is there a way to give farmers a window into the future? Come hear from Rothamsted scientist Dr Ellen Mass how scientists are addressing this critical question.

Café Scientifique is a place where anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Meetings take place in cafes, bars, restaurants and even theatres, but always outside a traditional academic context. Anyone is welcome to come and learn something new, ask questions, and join in the discussion.
