I attended the 3rd Agriculture and Climate Change conference held in Budapest, Hungary from the 24th-26th March 2019. The focus of the conference was on the various challenges of climate change, reduced water availability and approaches to the production of climate resilient crops, which is highly relevant to my current CRDC-supported research CSP 1804: Water use efficiency in a changing climate. Attending this conference provided me an opportunity to present CRDC-supported research on the integrated effects of warmer temperatures and elevated CO2 on leaf physiology, growth, water use and water use efficiency to the international scientific community. It also provided me an opportunity to engage and network with international scientists researching effects of climate change on a wide range of agricultural systems.
