| Call for Papers |
Environmental change awareness is a key state of spirit and legislation for preventing, protecting, and ultimately saving the planet biodiversity. Technical and practical methods for applying bio-agriculture for the public’s health and safety are primary targets. The goal is the use of ecological economic stimuli in tandem with social and governmental actions preventing deforestation, pollution, and global warming. To cope with the climate and landscape changes advanced technical inventory of tools and statistics on lessons learned are needed to derive appropriate measure and plan accordingly.
BIOENVIRONMENT 2010, The First International Conference on Environmental Change Awareness, is an inaugural event willing to bring on the stage different viewpoints, potential solutions, and project economic models to handle these issues.
The conference deals with technical papers presenting research and practical results, industrial small- and large-scale reports, challenging applications, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific topics on environmental changes, such as those being discussed in the international fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the topics, short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals.
The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of lessons learned, state of the art, regional reports, proposed or suitable legislations, project implementations, running experiments, applications, and large-scale industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers or reports, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.
