Themeday: Agriculture and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

There is a considerable potential in the agricultural sector to act as a part of the solution to the climate change challenge instead of merely being a part of the problem. Fulfilling this goal necessitates a common platform in the form of a network, where the multiple interactions between biological processes and production systems and a changing climate can be integrated using an interdisciplinary approach.

This day is arranged to launch such a network, the agriculture and greenhouse gas research network(GHG).Be involved in creating overview and solutions by joining the GHG network Theme Day on April 11, 2024,at AU Viborg.

Registration is necessary. Please use the link HERE. Deadline April 4, 9am.
