Scientific conference program

The scientific conference will take place at the University of Montpellier, on the premises of its Institute of Botany, just steps away from Montpellier’s historic Botanical Garden. It will bring together the scientific community, institutional representatives, international partners, and territorial stakeholders.

Discussions will address cross-cutting themes such as codification and regulation, nutrition and health, sustainable food systems, the impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss, as well as territorial and community dynamics focusing on four emblematic sectors: wine, shellfish farming, rice, and coffee.

Each sector will be the focus of a dedicated scientific session bringing together researchers, local authorities, territorial stakeholders, and international partners.

In addition, about thirty international doctoral candidates from the U. Montpellier-U. Pretoria global doctoral platform on “Nutrition and food systems” will present posters of recipes based on food items typical of their countries and will contribute to the discussions on sustainable, high-quality food around the world.
