Materials for Agriculture and Food Applications

This session examines materials developed for agriculture, food production, storage and packaging. It includes smart and biodegradable packaging, food-contact materials, agricultural sensors, soil-support materials, controlled-release fertilizers, crop-protection systems, bio-based materials and valorization of agricultural waste. 

Abstract Scope and Participation 

Researchers from materials science, agriculture, food technology, environmental science and industry are encouraged to submit abstracts. Contributions may address material safety, performance, sustainability, processing, preservation, monitoring, resource efficiency and technologies that improve agricultural productivity, food quality and supply-chain stability.
