SUMMARY:Conference on Climate Change & Agriculture: Impacts\, Resilience & Adaptations for Sustainable Food Security
DESCRIPTION:The world’s climate is rapidly changing due to global warming and will continue to be severe in the coming decades and centuries ahead\, and will pose major challenge for future agricultural scenarios to provide food and other bio-resources for the projected global 9 billion people by 2050. \nThe climate change will trigger variety of problems related to agriculture\, and will affect all four dimensions of food security: food availability\, food accessibility\, food utilization and food systems stability. Further\, will impact human health\, livelihood assets\, food production and distribution channels\, as well as changing purchasing power and market flows. Its impacts will be both short term\, resulting from more frequent and more intense extreme weather events\, and long term\, caused by changing temperatures and precipitation patterns. Food systems will also be affected through possible internal and international migration\, resource- based conflicts and civil unrest triggered by climate change and its impacts. At the same time\, it is necessary to strengthen the resilience of rural people and to help them cope with this additional threat to food security. Particularly in the agriculture sector\, climate change adaptation can go hand-in-hand with mitigation and organic farming. The conference aims at knowledge exchange on the interrelationship between climate change and food security and ways to deal with the new threats. \nTo disseminate the impacts of climate change\, relieving strategic technologies for creating sustainable agriculture and food security a two days national conference is planned by the IDC Foundation in December 2019 at India international Centre\, New Delhi. The conference sessions will include Innovative lead presentation\, summary of case studies as per sessions and full length presentations followed by publications etc. \n

SUMMARY:“Millet and what else? The wider context of the adoption of millet cultivation in Europe”\, Germany
DESCRIPTION:Within the Collaborative Research Centre 1266 at Kiel University\, the ‘Millet Dating Programme’ (2017-2019) produced direct radiocarbon dates on over a hundred grains of broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) from archaeological sites across Europe. The results demonstrate that millet cultivation began during the Middle and Late Bronze Age\, at slightly different times in different parts of Europe (Filipović et al. in prep.) and earliest in Ukraine (Dal Corso et al. in prep.). Building upon the now available solid chronological basis\, we want to explore how the (beginning of) full cultivation of millet across Europe correlates with changes and new tendencies in economy and lifestyle recognised from the archaeological record. Moving beyond the When?\, we want to investigate the How? and Why? of the integration of millet into Bronze Age agrarian systems. \nThis workshop will present and discuss: \n\nAspects of subsistence economy in different regions of Europe in the Middle-Late Bronze Age\, and the changes in it that took place when millet became one of the staple crops.\nEthnographic and experimental insights into millet cropping systems\, from sowing to consumption\, including aspects such as the required time/labour and yield-improvement measures.\nNew scientific methods that track the spread\, cultivation or consumption of millet\, and their integration with conventional approaches.\n\n  \nVenue : Wissenschaftszentrum Kiel\, Germany
