Abstract Submission

Abstract submission deadline: TBA

Online submission will open here shortly

Abstracts for talks and posters on the following conference topics are invited by DATE.

Themes include:

Harnessing opportunities: delivery on the promise of new technologies, innovative financial arrangements and governance innovation.
Safeguarding diversity in the food system: from plate to soil, from landscapes to trading systems, from factory to freshwaters
Trade-offs between global markets and localised models in national transition pathways towards rural and (peri)urban food and nutrition security  
Reflective science: Examining the role of power dynamics in science , revisiting the knowledge theories, intervention logics and data of research and action at the interface of science with policy, business and civil society.
Stability and climate change – ensuring agri -food systems are sustainable and resilient to shocks and stressors 
Agency within the food system and drivers for strengthening the right to food - ensuring socioeconomic equity and socio-cultural contributions of food systems.

You can submit as many abstracts to the conference for review as you would like.

If, after the review by the committee, you have more than one paper accepted for the conference, you will need to register to attend and pay an additional paper fee for each additional paper (i.e., for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th papers – not the 1st). Please note this is for papers that you are the presenting author of, not papers that you are co-author of.

Once the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must register for the conference and present the paper at the conference.

Abstracts of all accepted contributions will be included within the abstract system which will be distributed to all registered conference participants.

Successfully submitted abstracts will be acknowledged with an electronic receipt including an abstract reference number, which should be quoted in all correspondence. Allow at least 2 hours for your receipt to be returned to you.

For revisions or queries regarding papers already submitted

If you do not receive acknowledgment for your abstract submission or you wish to make any essential revisions to an abstract already submitted, please DO NOT RESUBMIT your abstract, as this may lead to duplication. Please email the Content Coordinator (Please do not email credit card information under any circumstances) with details of any revisions or queries. Please quote your reference number if you have one.
