aaas 2014 talk -- agrobiodiversity and global change
DESCRIPTION
My talk at the AAAS 2014. In the talk I provide a critique of the current framing of climate adaptation in the plant science, which is too narrowly focused on abiotic stress. I then provide reflections about how climate change should be addressed through vulnerability analysis and adaptation planning.TRANSCRIPT
