CPNB 2026 ("The Dundee Conference") is the foremost conference concerning environmental management and crop production and associated topics in northern environments. Whilst the long-established Association for Crop Protection in Northern Britain is not changing its name, the change in the title of the Conference to Crop PRODUCTION, reflects the wider remit of recent conferences.
We are delighted to be working with the Association of Applied Biologists to organise our 2026 meeting, which will bring the commmunity back together for an in-person meeting hosted at The Apex Hotel in Dundee.
The scientific presentations at CPNB are usually divided into sessions on 'Potatoes', 'Combinable Crops' and 'Agriculture and the Environment'.
Confirmed Keynote Speakers:
Professor Pete Smith, University of Aberdeen
Professor Jonathan Jones, The Sainsbury Lab.
We are currently inviting other speakers and look forward to receiving abstract submissions by November 1st 2025.
