Commission on Agricultural, Forest, and Veterinary Sciences

The commission’s activities began in the Agricultural Science Team, established in 1991, which became the Agricultural Science Commission the following year. Its name was changed to the Agricultural, Forest, and Veterinary Sciences Commission in 2013. The commission’s activities include organising talks, conferences, lectures, and meetings. The resulting materials are published with the financial support of PAU. The commission addresses the following themes: agricultural sciences (agronomy, plant conservation, entomology, agricultural engineering, food and nutrition technology, horticulture, plant physiology, animal physiology, animal nutrition, animal reproduction, animal genetics, animal breeding, and biotechnology), forest sciences (forest ecology, forest conservation, tree breeding, forest entomology, forest phytopathology, the science of forest soils, and the mechanisation of forestry work), and veterinary sciences (animal reproduction, animal andrology, epizootiology, and the study of the development of illnesses and disease in swine). The commission collaborates with Accademia dei Georgofili in Florence, and its members work with a number of societies of scholars abroad, including the International Neuroendocrine Federation, the Society for Neuroscience, and the International Union of Forest Research Organisations.
