DTSTART:2009-10-18
DTEND:2009-10-22
DESCRIPTION:<p>Yves Desjardins initiated the first Fav health congress, which took place in Quebec in 2005, in order to stimulate and encourage the multidisciplinary dialogue. The 2nd Conference at Houston was chaired by Bhimu Patil who opened the discussion with socioeconomists and medical professionals. </p><p><br />Fruit and vegetables are recognized as essential to equilibrate our diet preventing numerous diseases. Fruits and vegetables are a food group containing a diversity of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals) and other bioactive substances with polyphenols, glucosinolates, carotenoids…However, more scientific evidence should be required for understanding the optimal levels of their intake and their functionality. Active research is carried out to explore functionalities of fruits and vegetables. The objective of FAV HEALTH 2009 is to continue providing a forum for horticultural scientists, nutritionists, food scientists, biomedical scientists, chemists, biochemists, clinicians, medical professionals, social economists to exchange information and bridge the communication gap between the agricultural sciences, nutrition and health sciences. Plenary sessions, oral communications and posters will cover a wide range of topics from plant breeding to consumption behaviour. <br /></p>
