Proposals should inform and promote learning and innovation for agriculture, food and environment from international and cross-cultural perspectives. Successful abstracts/posters will be aligned with relevant conference sessions which examine tools, methods, approaches and practice-oriented activities in the agriculture, food and environment sector (e.g., sharing of experience of an organizational model, development of an online tool, building coalitions for innovation, or training methods for public engagement and targeting information to reach agri-food audiences, etc.). There will be several opportunities for students and early career researchers for networking with faculties, professionals and other AIAEE student members through presentation, participation in a student reporter team and student social event.
