PROFESSOR BRUCE STONE AM FTSE

It is with deep regret to advise that Professor Bruce Stone AM FTSE passed away peacefully on Saturday 28 June.

Bruce continued to work for the Crawford Fund right to the end displaying the commitment to science and the developing world that featured throughout his life and an unfailing optimism. Quite recently, for example, on a new mentoring scheme for the Fund and he continued the search for quality nominees awards named after Sir John Crawford and Professor Derek Tribe, our early mentors.

Bruce will be well remembered himself as a friend and mentor to many.

AGRICULTURE IN A CHANGING CLIMATE: The New International Research Frontier

3 September 2008
The Theatrette, Parliament House, Canberra

This is another of the Crawford Fund's provocative free annual development conferences.

The Crawford Fund's annual conferences highlight an important aspect of feeding and greening the world and we believe that this year's event will be another in our series of thought provoking, well attended and nationally reported events.

The current global food crisis with escalating food prices and the risk of food shortages only adds to the urgency of our 2008 topic "Agriculture in a Changing Climate: The New International Research Frontier".
