Phytotechnologies to Promote Sustainable Land Use Management and Improve Food Chain Safety - has just ended but the international community is still active and eager to maintain the vitality of this network.
The International Phytotechnology Society will hold its 7th conference entitled "Phytotechnologies in the 21st Century: Challenges after Copenhagen 2009. Remediation-Energy-Health-Sustainability" from 26 to 29 September 2010 in Parma, Italy, and extends an open invitation to the scientific community.
The University of Parma hosts the meeting to organise a multidisciplinary forum for scientists, companies, regulators, practitioners, public administrators, stakeholders and site owners bound together by the interest in phytotechnologies and their future developments.
After the Copenhagen meeting of December 2009 open issues like Environmental Remediation, Energy, Health and Sustainability require the interest and the effort of entire social, scientific and technological communities to lead to solutions.
Phytotechnologies (often referred to as green (plant) technologies) can bring about the much needed holistic approach.
Session topics will include: Phytoremediation Field Projects, Bioenergy and Next Energy, Passive Housing, Greenbuilding, Carbon Sequestration, Vegetative Covers, Constructed Wetlands, Nanoparticles and plants, Sustainability, Molecular Engineering Related to Phytotechnologies.
