International Symposium on Underutilized Plants for Food, Nutrition, Income and Sustainable Development

The Symposium will be organised around four main areas of importance for underutilized plants: food security, nutrition and health, income generation, and environmental sustainability. Participants will be invited to share and discuss reasons for success and failure of diverse approaches to promote underutilized plants. It is planned to use a variety of communication tools: oral and poster presentations, interactive discussion forums, films, theatre, video clips etc. Sufficient space will also be given to informal exchange. Participants are encouraged to experiment with novel means of information exchange and communication. A 1-day post conference tour will be offered as an optional activity on the last day of the conference.
