A5 - INTERDISCIPLINARY ISSUES

Chair: Fedro H. Zazueta / USA (fsz@ufl.edu)
Co-Chair: Hans Raj Gheyi (UFCG) / Brazil (hans@agriambi.com.br)

Agricultural and biological engineering will play an influential role in many of the challenges facing us in the XXIst century. Current trends in globalization and the explosive rate at which technologies in different disciplines are evolving punctuate the need to foster effective communication and collaboration between multi discipline scientists, educators and engineering practitioners.

This event will provide a forum to discuss issues related to current trends, opportunities and challenges created by emerging and established technologies in a global multidisciplinary context. Participants are encouraged to submit contributions related to research, implementation and adoption involving two or more disciplines related to engineering aspects of climate, the environment, food security, technology, natural resources, sustainability and emerging issues and technologies.

Contributions to this session may range from technical problem solutions to policy and practice recommendations, including standards. Of special interest, but not limited to, are contributions related to technologies useful over a wide scope of economic conditions that can help developing countries improve quality of life and integrate with competitive markets.
