Impact of climate change on the taste of crops

Climate change is transforming the agricultural and food sector worldwide. Temperature changes, shifts in humidity and precipitation patterns as well as the accumulation of extreme weather events already have noticeable consequences - agricultural yields are declining and the quality of food crops is deteriorating. How can the food supply for the world's population be secured and how can high-quality food be produced in the future? Prof. Corinna Dawid, Head of the Chair of Functional Phytometabolomics, will talk about this in her lecture in the TUM@Freising series on Tuesday, January 23, 2024 in the Lindenkeller in Freising.

After the lecture, all interested guests are invited to ask their questions to the speaker.

Lecture series TUM@Freising

The lecture series "TUM@Freising - Science explained for ALL" is a joint event organized by the Technical University of Munich and the city of Freising. At regular events, the TUM School of Life Sciences presents its research in the form of an engaging lecture for the general public. A subsequent discussion with the audience is always welcome after each lecture. The lecture series is intended to provide Freising's citizens with direct access to the scientific work at the Weihenstephan campus and offers scientists public input for their research work.
