The Biochemical Society, the Society for Experimental Biology and the
British Ecological Society are delighted to announce their third joint
scientific conference. <br><br>
An important challenge facing the future of humanity is food security.
This resource is heavily supported by the actions of insect pollinators
and attacked by insect crop pests. Agrochemical intensification has
reduced the amount of natural forage and breeding/nesting sites for
insects and simultaneously has provided large bonanzas in the form of
crops.<br><br>
Therefore, it is currently necessary to fight the battle against pest
species using insecticides. This approach is a double-edged sword
with<br>
both insect pests and pollinators being vulnerable. This conference will
discuss whether the key insecticides being used in this battle <br>
have an overall negative impact on bees, and so food security. <br><br>
To maximise the impact of this symposium, an open scientific discussion
will follow the talks to give the media and stakeholders an opportunity
to ask the scientific audience questions, so that the science can
directly inform the media <br>
and policy.<br>
