Science Forum 2013 – “Nutrition and health outcomes: targets for agricultural research”

Posted by | 08.29.2013

The Science Forum on “Nutrition and health outcomes: targets for agricultural research” will take place September 23-25, 2013 in Bonn, Germany. According to the Science Forum website:

[The Science Forum] serves as a means to reach out to scientists and scientific communities largely external to the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), but who have potentially important contributions to make to the CGIAR research portfolio and its system level objectives of improving food security, human nutrition and health, alleviation of poverty and environmental sustainability.

The objective of the Forum is to agree on the research needs and identify new scientific approaches and new partnerships, through which the agricultural community can add most value to the delivery of nutrition and health outcomes. The Science Forum will provide an opportunity for scientists to explore the nexus of agriculture/health/nutrition with external experts from these fields.
