Agriculture and food production are crucial sectors that play an essential role in providing food security and nourishment to our ever-growing global population. This Congress aims to bring together leading researchers, industry experts, and policymakers to exchange knowledge and ideas on the latest advances in agrifood research and innovation. The event provides a unique opportunity to discuss challenges facing the industry, explore emerging trends, and identify solutions to the complex issues related to food industry. We hope that this Congress will promote collaboration between different stakeholders and stimulate new initiatives that contribute to more sustainable and resilient food systems. We look forward to productive discussions and fruitful outcomes from this gathering.

We invite researchers and professionals to submit their paper or poster proposals to the FoSaMed International Conference. Contributions from original results of empirical, conceptual, or experimental research work in the broad area of food safety are most welcome for presentation.
