People from across the world, with diverse backgrounds and from different fields, academics and non-academics alike; very inspiring and informative talks, presentations and posters, and fruitful discussions; a great venue and splendid weather. This was Tropentag 2014 in Prague. The Czech University of Life Sciences Prague hosted this year's International Conference on Research on Food Security, Natural Resource Management and Rural Development. MANY THANKS to the speakers and presentations, the participants and, of course, the organizers of this brilliant event! You cannot await next year’s Tropentag Conference either? Then don’t forget to note down next year’s venue: 16-18 Sept 2015 in Berlin, Germany. The conference will be held under the theme “Management of Land Use Systems for Enhanced Food Security – Conflicts, Controversies and Resolution”. See you there!
