SUMMARY:Tropentag 2016
DESCRIPTION:The Tropentag is a development-oriented and interdisciplinary conference. It addresses issues of resource management\, environment\, agriculture\, forestry\, fisheries\, food\, nutrition and related sciences in the context of rural development\, sustainable resource use and poverty alleviation worldwide. The Tropentag 2016 conference theme is “Solidarity in a competing world – fair use of resources”.  The conference venue will be in Vienna\, Austria. All students\, Ph.D. students\, scientists\, extension workers\, decision makers\, politicians and practical farmers\, interested and engaged in agricultural research and rural development in transition and developing countries are invited to participate and to contribute. \nCall for papers\nThis year the call for papers addresses prospective procedures for solidarity and the fair use of increasingly scarce natural and non-renewable resources around the world. Focus is given to the rising demand for food\, fiber\, feed and fuel to cover the needs of a growing world population and to innovative sustainable practices\, e.g. organic farming\, and new economies and policies. Therefore\, we are interested into research and learning processes between the North and the South\, the East and the West\, and between women and men throughout multiple generations to cope with these challenges. Tropentag 2016 offers a discussion platform for technical and economic potentials to feed a world faced with increasing population\, climate hazards\, and loss of soil and biodiversity. Looking beyond (bio-) economic and technical per-spectives\, solutions are asked that seriously consider social and ethical standards. Along this vein\, we en-courage the examination of ‘fair’ within practices that occur in farming and other forms of food procurement\, and management of natural resources. Thus\, we wish to identify new forms of societal contracts between multiple stakeholder levels\, building solidarity among practitioners\, scientists and policy advisors that allow us to cope with current and future challenges. Tropentag 2016 invites you to present and share a wide range of scientific solutions investigated in transdisciplinary settings in the agrofood value web. \nFiat Panis award plenary session\nOn the occasion of this conference a special plenary session will be devoted to the presentation of the”Hans H. Ruthenberg-Graduate-Award” and the ” Josef G. Knoll European Science Award 2016″ by the fiat panis foundation\, Ulm. \nOral and poster presentations\nThe oral presentations of the Tropentag 2016 are organized in four sessions of six parallel thematic groups plus some special side events. Posters will be presented in parallel guided poster sessions on Monday September 19th between 17:15 and 18:15 h\, on Tuesday September 20th between 08:30 and 09:30 h\, between 11:45 and 12:45 h and between 18:00 and 19:00 h\, and on Wednesday September 21th between 08:30 and 09:30 h. \nOrganizers\nThe annual Conference on Tropical and Subtropical Agricultural and Natural Resource Management (TROPENTAG) is jointly organized by the universities of Berlin\, Bonn\, Göttingen\, Hohenheim\, Kassel-Witzenhausen\, Hamburg\, ZALF e.V.\, ETH Zurich (Switzerland)\, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (Czech Republic)\, BOKU Vienna (Austria) and the Council for Tropical and Subtropical Research (ATSAF e.V) in co-operation with the GIZ Advisory Service on Agricultural Research for Development (BEAF). \nTropentag 2016 will be organized by the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU Vienna)\, Austria. \n
