We welcome researchers, interested participants, and the public to the annual Network Meeting on November 15th, 2024, of the BayWISS Joint Academic Partnership Life Sciences and Green Technology at Campus Kulmbach, University of Bayreuth. The historic town of Kulmbach has long been considered a center for food, culinary enjoyment, innovation, and networking in the food industry—not only since the establishment of the young and innovative campus of the University of Bayreuth. In 2024, the annual network meeting of the BayWISS Joint Academic Partnership Life Sciences and Green Technologies will take place at the Kulmbach Campus. This year, doctoral students and researchers will engage in discussions on the topic of "Nutrition and Climate - Effects on Sustainable Development" in dialogue with experts from research, business, and politics.
Climate change affects food systems at multiple levels, including changes in soil fertility and crop yields, nutrient composition and bioavailability in food, pest resistance, and the risk of malnutrition. The critical interactions between food systems and climate are evident in how current food systems contribute to more than a third of all greenhouse gas emissions while extreme weather events and climate variability exacerbate tensions. Food production for human consumption is one of the main causes of environmental damage worldwide; yet billions of people suffer from undernourishment and nutritional deficiencies. To address this imbalance, it is necessary to evaluate current food systems at all levels and consider making changes. Through technological, scientific, and political efforts, significant additional impacts can be achieved.
This year's network meeting will be held in English in order to provide the right stage and range for this significant topic, which affects the global community.
You can look forward to the following program.
Take advantage of the unique opportunity to get to know the Kulmbach campus and its research groups and to connect with them.
