I International Symposium on Horticulture Economics, Marketing and Consumer Research, August 19-21, 2013 in Portland Oregon (USA).
The goal of the symposium is to bring together researchers and industry from the international community for a two-day symposium to promote the investigation of horticultural marketing and economics, as well as industry profitability and competitiveness.
The program includes invited key-note speakers, poster sessions, interactive discussion sessions, and free time for informal interaction with colleagues. The symposium tours showcase the Western U.S. ornamental plant and wine industries, and is held immediately prior to the Far West Trade Show (with an opportunity to extend your stay and separately register for that event). Several excursions are connected with this conference as well.

The emerging interest in Neglected and Underutilized Species (NUS) needs to be supported by science-based evidence of how NUS contribute to food security, income generation, better nutrition and climate change resilience. To this end, Bioversity International and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Ghana, and our partners are organizing the 3rd International Conference on Neglected and Underutilized Species.
The theme of the conference is NUS for a food-secure Africa. It will bring together research scientists, policy makers, entrepreneurs along the value chain, extension services, NGOs, development agencies, nutritionists, educators and others interested in helping poor farmers to use so-called minor crops to improve their livelihoods and well being. The emphasis will be on sharing evidence of what works.

The First International Conference on Global Food Security aims
to deliver state-of-the-art analysis, inspiring visions and innovative
research methods arising from interdisciplinary research. Join us in
this exciting opportunity to ensure that the best science is garnered
to support the emergence of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Achieving global food security whilst reconciling demands on the environment is the greatest challenge faced by mankind. By 2050 we will need to feed 9 billion people. The urgency of the issue has led to huge scientific strides forwards; making it difficult to keep up with the rapidly expanding volume of scientific research.
We aim to better understand economic, social, biophysical, technological and institutional drivers of current and future global food security.

The first International Conference on Nutrition (ICN) was held in Rome in 1992 jointly sponsored by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). A World Declaration and Plan of Action for Nutrition was adopted by delegates from 159 countries and the European Community who pledged to eliminate or reduce substantially starvation and famine; widespread chronic hunger; undernutrition, especially among children, women and the aged; micronutrient deficiencies, especially iron, iodine and vitamin A deficiencies; diet related communicable and non-communicable diseases; impediments to optimal breast-feeding; and inadequate sanitation, poor hygiene and unsafe drinking water.
Twenty one years later it is time to review what progress has been made, identify the challenges that remain and the opportunities for improving nutrition that have since arisen. The ICN+21 will take advantage of the increased international political attention to nutrition (the Updated Comprehensive Framework for Action (CFA) developed by the High Level Task Force on the Global Food Crisis (HLTF), the Global Strategic Framework (GSF) of the reformed Committee on Food Security (CFS) with its High Level Panel of Experts (HLPE-FSN), SUN movement, REACH, etc.) and ensure the necessary support for action at all levels. The ICN+21 will be a high-level political event and the first global intergovernmental conference devoted solely to addressing the world’s nutrition problems in the 2lst century. Reflecting the multi-sector nature of nutrition, the Conference will bring food, agriculture, health, education, social protection and other sectors together to mobilize the political will and resources necessary for improving nutrition and for reaching consensus around a global multi-sector nutrition framework indicating concrete steps to improve nutrition.
1. Review progress made since the 1992 ICN in the collective effort to address nutrition problems and identify major constraints encountered in the implementation of National Plans of Action for Nutrition
2. Review the achievements at country level for scaling up nutrition through direct nutrition interventions and nutrition-sensitive development policies and programmes;
3. Identify policy measures in health, agriculture, trade, consumers' policies and social support to improve global nutrition and develop consensus around a global multi-sectoral nutrition framework
4. Strengthen political and policy coherence and coordination for improving global nutrition and raise the political will necessary to mobilize the resources needed for achieving nutrition-related MDGs through a balanced multi-sector approach
For more information on the ICN+21, please contact Brian Thompson e-mail: Brian.Thompson@fao.org and Leslie Amoroso e-mail: Leslie.Amoroso@fao.org.

The significant contributions of small-scale farming systems in attaining the Millennium Development Goals and other internationally agreed benchmarks to eradicate poverty, enhance food and nutrition security, and strengthen local economies will be the focus of SEAVEG 2014: Families, Farms, Food. This regional symposium will examine how
policies and practices to sustain small-scale agriculture—and vegetable production and marketing in particular—can improve availability of and accessibility to safe and nutritious food, and contribute to better nutrition and balanced diets, thus enhancing the socio-economic development of ASEAN member states.

The congress is being hosted by the Australian Society of Horticultural Science, the New Zealand Institute of Agricultural and Horticultural Science, and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community, under the auspices of the International Society for Horticultural Science.
Held every four years at various sites around the world, and attracting more than 2,000 delegates, the congress is a world forum on all aspects of horticulture and horticultural science.
The theme of the 2014 congress is ‘Horticulture - sustaining lives, livelihoods and landscapes’. We’ve chosen this theme to highlight the unique potential of horticulture to address the key issues of modern society - health, wealth and the environment. Horticulture matters to us all, whether we are involved in research, extension, education, servicing horticulture in production, amenity or environmental horticulture, in developed or developing countries.
In the spirit of scientific cooperation and sharing knowledge globally, the congress will showcase advanced technologies that are becoming globally significant in a world with a rapidly growing population, less cultivatable land and an environment under threat.
This will be the second time that Australia has had the privilege to host the congress. The vibrant city of Brisbane and the adjoining Gold and Sunshine Coasts are rich in natural beauty and cultural heritage and offer adventure, fun, and entertainment for all ages.
