FASCINATION OF PLANTS DAY

O sétimo “Dia Mundial do Fascínio das Plantas” 2024 (FoPD 2024) está a ser lançado por cientistas de plantas de todo o mundo sob a égide da European Plant Science Organisation (EPSO).

 

The seventh international “Fascination of Plants Day” around 18 May 2024 will be launched by plant scientists across the world under the umbrella of the European Plant Science Organisation (EPSO).

Pretende-se com esta iniciativa fazer com que o maior número possível de pessoas em todo o mundo desperte para o fascínio das plantas e para a importância do seu estudo na melhoria da agricultura e produção sustentável de alimentos, bem como para a horticultura, silvicultura e produção de bens não-alimentares, como papel, madeira, químicos, fármacos e energia. O papel determinante das plantas na conservação do meio ambiente será igualmente objeto de destaque.

 

Todos são bem vindos a participar desta iniciativa!

 

The goal of this activity is to get as many people as possible around the world fascinated by plants and enthused about the importance of plant science for agriculture and sustainable production of nutritious food, as well as for horticulture, forestry and the production of plant-based non-food products such as paper, timber, chemicals, energy and pharmaceuticals. The role of plants in environmental conservation is also a key message.

 

Everybody is welcome to join this initiative!

Em Angola, embora a data já tenha sido celebrada de alguma forma, foi o Departamento de Ciências da Natureza do ISCED-Huíla que pela primeira vez, organizou e inscreveu o evento no site da organização, sedeado em Bruxelas, Bélgica. Este ano o evento decorrerá sob o tema – Paisagismo e Conservação do Ambiente, contará com vários eventos em formato de conferência e actividades ao ar livre, como: jardinagem, plantação de árvores e também visitas guiadas.
