The 4th AgroEnviro Workshop – Connecting Synchrotron Research to Higher-Scale Problem Solving in AgroEnviroSystems – will be held from September 23 to 24, 2024, promoted by the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) of the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) in Campinas, SP, Brazil.  

The workshop will bring together experienced and early-career scientists with interest and expertise in critical topics in agro-environmental sciences. The objective of the 4th AgroEnviro edition is to identify unanswered questions about major agro-environmental issues related to food security and climate change that can be explored using highly advanced 4th generation synchrotrons, such as Sirius. The event aims to motivate scientists from various regions of Brazil to use open facilities to address fundamental scientific challenges in agriculture and the environment.  

The AgroEnviro Workshop 2024 will cover the use of synchrotron techniques applied to agricultural and environmental challenges, including topics on cohesive soil analysis, reducing greenhouse gas emissions in soils, phosphorus management in tropical soils, and food security through better crop management. The program includes lectures, discussions, poster presentations, and a tour of the Sirius facilities.
