Barcelona, Spain
We are thrilled to announce an international conference organized by Plants (ISSN: 2223-7747) to be held in Barcelona, Spain, from 31 March through 2 April 2025. This global event, under Plants 2025: From Seeds to Food Security, is significant, bringing together plant scientists worldwide to discuss and share their latest research and findings. The world population is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, just 25 years from now. This calls for a more concerted effort by scientists to increase agricultural production to feed the growing population and maintain a sustainable agroecosystem while increasing crop yields and quality. In addition, preserving waterways from contamination due to the excessive use of agrochemicals (herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers) and maintaining and increasing forest cover are essential issues. This conference addresses these topics through keynote talks and seven different sessions for presenting innovation and prospects for the future.
We will have seven main themes at this conference, where presenters can make their scientific discoveries known:
- Session 1: Plant responses to abiotic stress and climate change;
- Session 2: Plant–microbe interactions;
- Session 3: Emerging technologies in plant health;
- Session 4: Emerging technologies in plant breeding;
- Session 5: Emerging technologies in biotechnology and molecular research;
- Session 6: Seed technologies and seed enhancement;
- Session 7: Plant nutrition.

The conference organizers look forward to having experts in the field deliver keynote talks and invite other experts, postdoctoral scientists, graduate students, and anyone interested in plant research and innovation to attend this conference.

The conference will be held in Barcelona, a picturesque city where scientists from around the world can unwind and enjoy Spanish culture, food and the seaside. We, the conference chairs, look forward to welcoming you to Plants 2025.

Dubrovnik, Croatia
On behalf of Mladen Brncic, Full Prof. from the Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology, University of Zagreb, (Croatia) and Francisco J. Barba, Full Prof. from the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences, Universitat de València (Spain), we are delighted to invite scientists from academia and industry, to join the first International Congress on Sustainable Food, Green Chemistry and Human Nutrition (GreenNutriFood 2025), which will take place on the stunning Dubrovnik Riviera, surrounded by the beautiful sights of the UNESCO-protected city of Dubrovnik, Croatia. We are so excited to meet all of you and to share new research advances and the latest scientific knowledge of Food Science and Technology, Human Nutrition, as well as Green Chemistry. In light of the push towards a circular economy, particularly in the food sector due to the growing problem of food waste, various efforts have been made to align company strategies with the European Green Deal and Sustainable Development Goals. The development of green, innovative, and sustainable processes to accelerate the transition to sustainable food systems that ensure food security, proper nutrition, and adherence to green chemistry principles is more relevant than ever. GreenNutriFood 2025 will showcase the latest scientific discoveries, technologies, and methodologies for creating new ingredients and foods. The GreenNutriFood 2025 program will focus on the below-mentioned topics:
- Green Chemistry in the Food Industry;
- Plant-Based and Alternative Proteins;
- Food Waste Reduction and Circular Economy;
- Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals in Human Nutrition;
- Innovative Food Technologies for Sustainability;
- Green Chemistry in Food Additives and Preservatives;
- Policies and Regulations for Sustainable Nutrition;
- Consumer Behavior and Sustainable Eating;
- Microbiome and Gut Health in Sustainable Nutrition;
- Sustainable Seafood and Marine Resource Management.
We are excited to welcome you to Dubrovnik, a vibrant, sun-soaked city renowned for its rich historical and cultural heritage! We look forward to meeting you in person!
