Welcome to the Circularity and Resource Efficiency of Food Systems Conference under the Romanian Presidency of the European Council 22nd of May 2019, USAMV București Institutul Național de Cercetare-Dezvoltare pentru Bioresurse Alimentare-IBA București will organise the conference “Circularity and Resource Efficiency of Food Systems” which will be held on the 22nd of May 2019 at USAMV Bucharest.
The event will take place under the Romanian Presidency of the European Council auspices with the support of the Ministry of Research and Innovation, the Executive Unit for Financing Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation (UEFISCDI), the University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest and The Academy for Agriculture and Forestry Sciences “Gheorghe Ionescu-Șișești”.
At this conference, Minister of Ministry of Research and Innovation, President of the Romanian Academy for Agriculture and Forestry Sciences, high level reprezentatives of the Ministry of Agriculture will participate as well as high level researchers and other food chain stakeholders from Romania and other European Countries.
Our intention is to create a supportive environment for establishing new collaborations in the field of agri-food research that share the same ideas as the Food2030 Initiative. We would like to become a reference point in the development of agri-food research in Eastern Europe region and to strengthen collaboration at the level of this region and between this one and other European regions in order to build up an efficient and effective European food system.
The main aim of this event is to raise the awareness about sustainable production and consumption, to minimize the food waste and to transform agri-food by-products and rezidues into new raw materials for different purposes having an environmentally-friendly approach. This event would be an important landmark and would be part of the list of events with high visibility organized during the EU Presidency of Romania.
