10th International Symposium on Food and Environment
“Status of Biotic Resources and Efforts for Sustainable Production in Asian Countries”

Human existence largely depends upon sustainable food production in many countries. Various factors related to climate change, human population increase and change of socio-industrial structure caused by rapid development are affecting the production environment of biotic resources which consist of genetic and environmental resources. It is of our great concern how to manage and produce sustainably such valuable biotic resources for clothing and medicine as well as foods that are essential for human life.
This symposium is convened to present overviews and discuss current situations, issues and challenges affecting biotic resources and the environment towards their sustainable production in Asian countries.
