Join the Frontiers of Agri-Food Health Research:

Hosted by the prestigious CCARM, a collaborative effort between St. Boniface Hospital, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, University of Manitoba, and the University of Winnipeg, this event comes at a time of tremendous public interest in utilizing food to achieve health benefits beyond just providing basic nutritional requirements. The need for new information in this area is high, and it is therefore our pleasure to provide scientific sessions that will highlight the progress in this field.

 

We invite participants to share their research on these topics, or others related to Agri-Food Sciences:

 

• Innovative plant breeding for bioactive compounds
• Amplifying pathogen resistance and eliminating toxins in food crops
• Elevating nutritional value through advanced food processing
• Cutting-edge techniques for food analysis
• Unveiling novel health benefits through preclinical and clinical studies

 

???? Empowering the Future:

At CCARM, we believe in nurturing the next wave of researchers. This conference serves as a platform for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to showcase their remarkable work, connect with peers, and engage in dynamic discussions with like-minded professionals.
