In the context of this conference, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has launched a call for scientific poster abstracts highlighting the progress, opportunities, and risks associated with biotechnology. Submissions, which must be made online before April 30, 2025, will be reviewed for presentation as electronic posters during the conference, with no funding for participation.
As part of its 80th anniversary celebrations, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) seeks to organize a biotechnology innovation challenge on the sidelines of this conference, aimed at highlighting the work of young scientists and innovators under the age of 35. This competition aims to identify biotechnological advancements in various fields of food and agriculture that provide solutions to improve production and nutrition, reduce environmental impact, and enhance the resilience of food and agriculture systems, especially for smallholder farmers in developing countries.
