The Future Of Fungicides: Exploring Antifungal Resistance

Antifungal resistance is an emerging challenge with implications for farming and human health. This panel brings together Dr Rosie Bryson, Tim Parton, and Professor Matthew Fisher to connect the dots between antifungal resistance, resilient food production, and public health. We’ll unpack what antifungal resistance is, what drives it, and how it may affect fungicide use on farms — and hear how and why farmers like Tim are reducing reliance on them.
