Speakers for our parallel sessions will be selected from the abstract pool.

All expenses including registration and travel are the responsibility of the attending author(s).
All abstract authors will have the opportunity to prepare and submit full papers to a special edition of the ERA-listed journal Crop and Pasture Science dedicated to the conference themes. This will be arranged after the conference.
Please note: Submission of an abstract implies permission for it to be published in the Conference proceedings and other relevant publications.
