| World food demand is predicted to double from present levels by 2050, driven by a projected 40% increase in population growth and changes in eating patterns. This will undoubtedly lead to greater demand for livestock products. However, our ability to increase food production is constrained by a number of factors, including competing demands for land use for energy production and recreational use, together with the impact of climate change on land availability and productivity. This conference will bring together a range of international research scientists to discuss future priorities for agricultural research and development and, in particular, to examine factors influencing the efficiency of food and energy production. |
Major themes for the conference will include: 
Incorporating annual conferences of the British Society of Animal Science, the Agricultural Research Forum of Ireland and the World Poultry Science Association (UK Branch), in collaboration with the Association of Applied Biologists.
