INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF ECOLOGICAL ENGINEERING
7-11 October 1996, Beijing, China
The conference will focus on agriculture and environment.
Ecological engineering is the design of human society with its
natural environment for the benefit of both. In comparison with
other engineering methods, it usually needs low capital cost and
low energy consumption, and is more suitable to solve today's
many problems in the conflict among development, environment
and resource shortage. In recent years, ecological engineering
attracts interests of more and more scientists in the fields of
agriculture, environmental protection, construction, ecological
restoration, natural conservation and waste treatment etc. In
China it was found that the concepts of ecological engineering
agreed very well with its formal "design with nature"
philosophy. In recent years the term of ecological engineering is
used throughout the whole country, with more than 500 sites
that practice agro- ecological and eco-environmental
engineering. The ICEE in Beijing will provide a good chance for the
knowledge exchange and there will be excursions to the practice
sites. The number of participants in IEEC Beijing is expected 250
including 100 international.
