Title: Symposium--Exploring Alternative Cropping Systems to Enhance Sustainable Productivity and Food Quality in a Changing Climate

Lead Community Sponsor: Solar Corridor Crop System Community
Cosponsor:
Community Cosponsor: Tropical Legumes Community, Organic Management Systems Community, U.S.-Sino Agricultural Research Forum Community, Agricultural Experiment Station Management Community
Format: Oral Symposium
Keywords: Alternative Cropping Systems, Climate, Food Quality and Sustainable

Session Description: This symposium will focus on alternative approaches to the development of crop systems designed to maximize sustainable productivity and enhance food quality. It is intended to serve as a uniquely informative venue for all agronomists, climatologists, educators, environmentalists, extension specialists, farmers, journalists,research scientists, etc. who want to learn about and contribute to the closing panel discussion on the global research presented and their findings that address this critically important focus. The design and evolutional development of the solar corridor crop system offers an effective basis of and serves as a prime example of the research that will be presented.
