DESCRIPTION:Andrew Plant\nGlobal Head of Chemistry\nSyngenta Crop Protecti
 on\nStein\nSwitzerland\nAbstract\nThe world’s population is predicted to
  exceed 9 billion people by 2050. How can farmers continue to provide plen
 tiful\, nutritious\, and safe food\, with diminishing natural resources in
  an increasingly unpredictable climate? What role does chemistry play in a
 griculture and what are the challenges and opportunities facing chemists t
 oday and in the future? This seminar will highlight the fundamental driver
 s for the crop protection industry\, outline the invention process for a n
 ew agrochemical\, touch on the paradox of the ideal product\, and suggest 
 how integrating technologies at the interfaces of science and engineering 
 will provide innovative solutions for growers\, helping them to meet the f
 ood security challenge.\nReferences:\nCrop Protection Chemistry: challenge
