Scope:
This inaugural webinar event for Cambridge Prisms: Plastics will explore the use of plastics in agriculture; agriplastics, and the broader use of plastics in various aspects of agriculture, including crop production, soil management, irrigation, and protection of crops; plasticulture.
Our Panel of leading experts with diverse experience and perspectives will explore the complexities of plastic in agriculture. More specifically, this event will examine its trade-offs, advantages, global impact, policy implications, and new sustainable alternatives.
Plasticulture has revolutionised agriculture and its practices, whilst raising critical questions about environmental sustainability, social equity, and long-term viability.
Can new technologies and new materials offer solutions for this industry that meet all stakeholders needs while promoting human health and ensuring equitable access to sustainable livelihoods?
