New IPM 2026 | Future Food Systems

Following the success and growth over the last four years, the Natural Products BioHUB Accelerated Green Economy Centre is pleased to announce the New IPM - Future Food Systems Symposium, scheduled for 8-10 September 2026 at the Great Hall, Bay Campus, Swansea University. 

This symposium will bring together experts from research, industry, farming, policy and investment to explore Future Food Systems: Sustainable, Resilient and Nature-Positive Pathways. Topics will include integrated pest management, algae and natural products, soil health, biological inputs, biodiversity, and the commercialisation of nature-based innovation, with a focus on practical solutions for food security, climate resilience and sustainable growth.

A key feature of the symposium is its focus on collaboration across sectors. Sessions will cover cutting-edge technologies like AI, robotics, and consumer psychology in the development and implementation of IPM products and strategies. The event will also offer exhibition, sponsorship, speaking and networking opportunities, fostering cross-sector partnerships. Interested in taking part? Check out our new website here.
