Shaping the Production of Sustainable, Healthy Foods for the Future

The  36th EFFoST International Conference 2022 will be hosted by University College Dublin and supported by an independent scientific committee. We would like to invite you to EFFoST2022 that will be held in the city of Dublin, Ireland from 7-9 November 2022.

Healthy and sustainable food systems must be achieved as a matter of urgency to improve human health and the health of the planet. Ensuring that healthy eating equates to sustainable eating requires the collaboration of many stakeholders across the food chain. EFFoST 2022 aims to assemble a range of experts to articulate the challenges and advance our knowledge of how to produce and process healthy sustainable foods and mobilise citizens to make sustainable dietary choices.

Conference topics
Abstracts will be invited on the following topics. More information about the abstract submission deadline and the online abstract submission system will be provided in early 2022.
