Conference Description:

Call for papers/Topics
Topics of interest for submission include any topics on Organic Agriculture, Food Security and Public Health:

Track 1: The "One Health" Interface
This track focuses on the interconnected health of people, animals, and the planet.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): The role of organic livestock farming in reducing antibiotic usage and preventing the spread of resistant superbugs.

Zoonoses Prevention: How diverse, organic ecosystems can act as buffers against spillover events (diseases passing from animals to humans).

Soil-Gut Microbiome Axis: Emerging research connecting healthy soil biodiversity to the human gut microbiome and immune system function.

Environmental Health & Toxicology: Comparative studies on pesticide exposure in rural communities and its link to chronic non-communicable diseases (cancers, endocrine disruption).



Track 2: Advanced Organic Production & Food Security
Focusing on how to feed a growing population without synthetic inputs.

Regenerative Agriculture 2.0: Moving beyond "sustainable" to "restorative"—practices that sequester carbon, restore water cycles, and reverse desertification.

Bio-Intensive Yield Optimization: Closing the "yield gap" between organic and conventional farming through breeding programs and soil science.

Climate-Resilient Crops: Development of drought-tolerant and saline-resistant organic crop varieties for volatile climates.

Urban & Vertical Organic Farming: Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) as a solution for urban food deserts and local food security.

Organic Aquaculture: Sustainable "Blue Food" systems and removing microplastics/chemicals from seafood supply chains.



Track 3: Nutrition, Safety, and Quality
Focusing on the biological impact of food on the consumer.

Nutrient Density Profiling: Comparative analysis of secondary metabolites (antioxidants, polyphenols) in organic vs. conventional produce.

Mycotoxins vs. Pesticides: Balancing the risks of fungal contamination in unsprayed crops against chemical residue risks.

Bio-fortification: Natural breeding strategies to increase vitamin and mineral content in staple organic crops to fight malnutrition.

Food Safety in Circular Systems: Managing safety risks when using compost, manure, and wastewater recycling in agriculture.



Track 4: "Precision Organics" (AgTech & Innovation)
Focusing on the role of technology in scaling chemical-free farming.

AI and Robotics in Weed Control: Using autonomous laser weeders and mechanical robots to eliminate the need for herbicides.

Blockchain for Transparency: Digital tracing to guarantee organic integrity from "Farm to Fork" and prevent food fraud.

Biological Input Innovation: Next-generation bio-fertilizers, biostimulants, and pheromone-based pest control.

Smart Supply Chains: IoT solutions for reducing post-harvest loss in perishable organic goods.



Track 5: Policy, Economics, and Social Equity
Focusing on the systemic changes required for global food security.

True Cost Accounting (TCA): Calculating the hidden costs of conventional agriculture (healthcare, environmental cleanup) to level the economic playing field.

Food Sovereignty & Indigenous Knowledge: Integrating traditional ecological knowledge with modern organic science.

Public Procurement Policies: Strategies for mandating organic food in schools, hospitals, and public institutions to improve public health.

The "Double Burden" of Malnutrition: Addressing obesity and undernutrition simultaneously through diversified organic diets.
