Breakthroughs 2030: A workshop to be held October 2-5, 2017 at the Beckman Center, Irvine CA

2030年突破研讨会将于2017年10月2日至5日在加州欧文市的加州大学贝克曼中心举行。该研讨会汇集了一批跨学科的科学家，讨论食品和农业科学的未来。 该研讨会是由美国国家科学院，工程和医学院（NAS）组织的为期一年的研究的一部分，以确定关键差距并发现突破性研究领域，以促进美国的粮食和农业该研讨会旨在激发创造性思维，催化新的研究方向，建立伙伴关系并吸引来自通常与粮食和农业无关的学科的研究投入。 研讨会将审议在2017年夏季经过大量公众投入后选定的七个科学重点领域。在输入期间，一个公共网站将收集想法，这些想法将通过2017年8月的市政厅会议综合为七个重点领域，并将在2030年突破研讨会上达到高潮。促进和公共研讨会将包括来自不同学科和人口统计的多元化参与。研讨会与会者将讨论瓶颈和未来的方法，以加快在与粮食和农业有关的七个重点领域的进展。成果将是NAS将于2018年发布的最终报告，作为将粮食和农业推进到未来几十年的指导蓝图。

The Breakthroughs 2030 workshop will be held October 2-5, 2017 at the Beckman Center at the University of California in Irvine, California. The workshop brings together a cross-disciplinary group of scientists to discuss the future of food and agriculture science. The workshop is part of a year-long study organized by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NAS) to identify critical gaps and discover breakthrough research areas to advance food and agriculture in the U.S. The workshop is designed to stimulate creative thinking, catalyze new research directions, build partnerships and attract research input from disciplines not typically associated with food and agriculture. The workshop will consider seven science focal areas selected after a significant public input period during the summer of 2017. During the input period, a public website will gather ideas, which will be synthesized as the seven focus areas through Town Hall meetings in August 2017, and will culminate in the Breakthroughs 2030 workshop. The facilitated and public workshop will include diverse participation from across disciplines and demographics. Workshop attendees will discuss the bottlenecks and future approaches needed to accelerate progress in each of the seven focus areas related to food and agriculture. Outcomes will be a final report to be published by the NAS in 2018 as a guiding blueprint to advance food and agriculture into the next decades.
