International Conference on Sustainable Agriculture, Food Security & Public Health on April 28-30, 2027 in Budapest, Hungary

Call for papers/Topics

All Abstracts, Reviews, short articles, Full articles, Posters are welcomed related with any of the following research fields:

Part 1: Independent Topics

These areas focus on the specialized, foundational mechanics unique to each individual sector.

1. Sustainable Agriculture

The practices and ecological management methods used to produce food without depleting natural resources or harming the environment.

Soil Health and Conservation: Cover cropping, no-till farming, soil microbiome management, and preventing desertification.

Water Resource Management: Drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, agricultural runoff mitigation, and wastewater recycling.

Agroecological Farming Methods: Permaculture, crop rotation, polyculture, and silvopasture (integrating trees and livestock).

Alternative Inputs and Pest Control: Integrated Pest Management (IPM), biopesticides, organic fertilizers, and compost management.

2. Food Security

The structural mechanisms ensuring that all people have reliable physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food.

Food Availability and Supply Chains: Global and local logistics, post-harvest storage solutions, and reducing cold-chain processing loss.

Economic Accessibility and Affordability: Food pricing mechanisms, agricultural subsidies, social safety nets, and urban food deserts.

Food Safety and Standards: Foodborne pathogen tracking, chemical residue monitoring, and regulatory phytosanitary inspections.

Alternative Protein Sources: Cellular agriculture (lab-grown meat), insect-based proteins, and plant-based protein scaling.

3. Public Health

The science of protecting and improving the health of people and their communities through education, policy, and disease prevention.

Nutritional Epidemiology: Tracking chronic deficiencies, the mechanics of stunting and wasting, and studying the drivers of the global obesity epidemic.

Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases: Zoonotic disease transmission vectors, waterborne pathogens, and global pandemic tracking.

Environmental Health Science: Assessing the human health impacts of heavy metals, microplastics, and ambient chemical exposure.

Healthcare Systems and Infrastructure: Rural healthcare access, health education delivery, and emergency response logistics.

Part 2: Interrelated Topics

These integrated fields sit at the overlap of these three disciplines, where a shift in one directly causes a ripple effect in the others.

1. One Health: The Human-Animal-Environment Interface

A holistic framework recognizing that human health is inextricably linked to the health of animals and our shared environment.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): How antibiotic overuse in livestock farming leaks resistant bacteria into groundwater and the human food chain.

Zoonotic Spillover and Intensification: How industrial livestock operations and agricultural encroachment into wild habitats drive the emergence of novel viruses.

Agricultural Chemical Toxicology: The direct public health impacts of pesticide drift and nitrogen pollution on farming communities and downstream drinking water.

2. Climate Resilience, Food Systems, and Human Survival

The collective impact of a changing climate on how we grow food, what nutrients that food contains, and the resulting health outcomes.

Nutritional Degradation of Crops: How rising atmospheric carbon dioxide reduces essential micronutrient levels (like iron and zinc) in staple grains.

Extreme Weather and Yield Stability: Mitigating the risk of simultaneous multi-breadbasket failures due to severe droughts and floods.

Vector Shifting and Food Storage: How warmer global temperatures expand the geographic range of agricultural pests and aflatoxin-producing molds.

3. Urbanization, Localized Food Systems, and Chronic Disease Prevention

The redesign of modern food supply networks to improve human health while lowering the carbon footprint of transport.

Urban and Vertical Agriculture: Hyper-local hydroponic and aeroponic food systems that reduce transport emissions and provide fresh produce directly to urban centers.

Dietary Shifts and Circular Bioeconomies: Transitioning populations toward regenerative, plant-forward diets to simultaneously reduce agricultural methane emissions and lower risks of cardiovascular disease.

Food Waste Valorization: Diverting agricultural and consumer organic waste away from landfills to produce bioenergy and organic fertilizer, preventing localized environmental contamination
