Life Sciences seminar by Professor Rosemary CollierGLT2, Gibbet Hill campusIt’s A Bug’s Life… January 2020 is a very appropriate time to reflect on our approaches to pest management in the UK and more widely. In the last year there have been increasingly dire warnings about the impact of food production on the environment, the ‘drive’ within Europe to reduce pesticide use continues to increase and then there is BREXIT. My research is focused on the pest insects of vegetables. Vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet but are consumed (and produced) in the UK at a much lower level than they ‘should be’. I plan to consider some of these issues in the context of my research and my interactions with a variety of colleagues and stakeholders. |
