| Sumario: | Crops play a critical role in global food security as a source of food and feed. Every four years, the International Crop Science Congress hosts a forum for crop scientists from around the world to integrate current knowledge into a global context and international applications. On August 14-19, 2016, the Congress will hold its 7th meeting in Beijing, China, focusing on new technology and information that can help improve crop productivity in the context of climate change and water scarcity, fragile environmental resources, and conflicting demands on crop production and agriculture by diverse social systems.
