Lisbon, Sixth International Conference on Coexistence between Genetically Modified (GM) and non-GM based Agricultural Supply Chains

On November 12-15, 2013, Lisbon will hold the GMCC 2013, presenting developments in farming systems, plant breeding and biotechnology and sustainable use of agricultural biological diversity.

GMCC-13 is aimed at gathering academic and industry experts, regulators, policy makers and other key stakeholders from around the world to discuss both specific and comprehensive coexistence topics. 

Agriculture is at the crossroads of the most important challenges of global development: demographic growth, food security and safety, water and environmental resources management, climatic change, energy resources and world trade. Its sustainable growth is therefore complex and calls for the pursuit of different approaches, both locally and worldwide. 
Recent advances also gave rise to specific regulatory frameworks for their adoption and to stringent adjustments of segregation and monitoring procedures, which must accommodate an increasing number of new productions and an intricate map of ruling systems across the global marketplace. The resulting technical and economic challenges and solutions are the subject of this interesting meeting.
