IAASTD+10: ten years on from the largest agricultural assessment ever


In 2009, ca. 400 authors contributed to the unique “International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development” (IAASTD). Now, a group of former authors and review editors of the IAASTD, including two ENSSER members, Jack Heinemann and Angelika Hilbeck, decided to commemorate this by discussing key issues in the area of global agricultural practices and policies since 2009, in a new book:

Transformation of our food systems: The making of a paradigm shift

Hilbeck and Heinemann each also (co-)wrote a chapter in the book, entitled, respectively: “Update: The emerging issue of “digitalization” of agriculture” and “Update: Assessment of modern biotechnologies”.
