Halifax was founded in 1749 and is the largest city and economic hub of Atlantic Canada. Halifax is home to the oldest farmer’s market in North America, the Alexander Keith’s brewery and the Halifax Public Gardens, a National Historic site established in 1867. Stanfield International Airport located north of Halifax provides flight connections to a variety of locations across Canada, the United States and several European cities.

The conference organizers have developed an exciting program including: a plenary session, “Precision crop and pest management: from promise to ALMOST reality”; a symposium “Developing Sustainable Biomass Management in Canada: Climate Change Resilience and Advancing the Bioeconomy”; graduate student presentations; concurrent oral and poster presentation sessions on weed management and agronomy; and two workshops with one on statistical analyses.
