HKU Public Lecture by Mok Hing Yiu Distinguished Visiting Professor: Food Security in the Face of Climate Change: The Next Green Revolution

LE1, Library Extension Building, Main Campus, HKU

  Greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural activities are a major driver of climate change, which, in turn, undermines crop production and threatens global food security. Plant biology research offers a promising solution to break this vicious cycle by developing more resilient crops and reducing agriculture-related emissions.  In this context, Professor Sheng Luan will present a case study on the environmental damage caused by the excessive use of chemical fertiliser in farming — and how his research in plant biology could pave the way for a sustainable "New Green Revolution".
