Through its broad and world-wide scientific and engineering connections, IUPAC was in a strong position to carry through the concept of CHEMRAWN, first enunciated in 1975. As the acronym for "Chemical Research Applied to World Needs", CHEMRAWN was conceived as a focus for identifying and addressing world problems amenable to solutions through chemistry. It recognized the interdependent nature of world communities, expressing a concern for problems facing both developed and developing nations, and at the same time, noting the limitations of a purely technological approach, endeavoured to address simultaneously scientific, social, economic and environmental factors.
The second international meeting invoking this CHEMRAWN concept was the International Conference on Chemistry and World Food Supplies - the New Frontiers, held in Manila, Philippines, in December 1982 as CHEMRAWN II.Contents.Soil and Crop Management for Efficient Use of Water and Nutrients.
