PURPOSE AND SCOPE

3rd International Traditional Food and Sustainable Nutrition Symposium

The 3rd International Symposium on Traditional Foods and Sustainable Nutrition, organized by Toros University, is a significant international scientific, technological, and business forum focusing on traditional foods, sustainable food, nutrition, and gastronomic systems.

We are living in an era that requires urgent solutions to pressing issues such as international climate change, food shortages, poverty, pandemic diseases, depletion of natural resources, and similar challenges. Given the limited nature of our resources, it is evident that there is an urgent need to preserve ecosystems to ensure they are sufficient for future generations. This transformation aims to create a socially responsible, environmentally sustainable society, focusing on the preservation of the environment and dynamic balance in human and natural systems.

The 3rd International Symposium on Traditional Foods and Sustainable Nutrition will take place online on October 3-4, 2024, with the participation of distinguished researchers and academicians. The main theme of the symposium is to explore ways to address global challenges related to sustainability in the fields of food, nutrition, and gastronomy. We look forward to the participation of researchers in the symposium to share their research findings, innovative ideas, and proposals in the areas mentioned, as indicated by the links provided below.

We look forward to your participation in the symposium.
