NKJ NordCrop meeting: “Climate resilient crops in the North and beyond!”

NordCrop funded by Nordic Joint Committee for Agricultural and Food Research (NKJ) holds a meeting in Alnarp 10 March, tentatively as a hybrid meeting (if Covid-19 regulations does not allow a physical meeting we will go fully online). There will be a focus on abiotic stress in crops in Nordic conditions and also a focus on young researchers.
