How will plant biodiversity deal increasing CO2? How can plants help us to deal with global problems such as energy production and malnutrition? During the FESPB-EPSO Plant Congress 2012 in Freiburg these questions and more were tackled.
Here is a tweetstream from the conference. http://storify.com/rbastow/epso-fespb-plant-congres-2012
