1st Mediterranean Agroecology Congress

AGROECOLOGICAL AND AGROFORESTRY APPROACHES FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

4th AIDA National Congress

2nd ITALIAN AGROFORESTRY FORUM AIAF

Welcome to the registration and abstract submission page for the Congress, which will take place from June 9th to 12th, 2025, at the Palacongressi in Agrigento. Here, you can submit your work and register for the conference.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION

THE ABSTRACT SUBMISSION PROCESS IS OVER.

Conference participation: submit your documentation and share your innovative research with us.

The AEMED Committee invites authors to submit their proposals for papers and special sessions to be presented at the 1st Mediterranean Agroecology Congress, “AGROECOLOGICAL AND AGROFORESTRY APPROACHES FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.” Proposal submissions will close on March 2, 2025. Decisions will be communicated to the email address provided by the authors during registration.

Scientific abstracts and scientific posters are primarily aimed at researchers, academics, and industry professionals and must provide a detailed presentation of theoretical contexts, research objectives, adopted methodologies, and the results of the studies. This type of abstract seeks to promote scientific reflection, the exchange of methodological approaches, and the sharing of empirical evidence to advance knowledge in the field of agroecology.

Experiential abstracts, on the other hand, are intended for farmers and practitioners who wish to share their direct experiences, strategies, and solutions adopted in the context of their agricultural activities. These abstracts emphasize the practical application of agroecological and agroforestry approaches, highlighting challenges, successes, and lessons learned with a focus on sustainable innovation and potential replicability.

DUE TO THE NUMEROUS PARTICIPATION REQUESTS, THE SUBMISSION SYSTEM WILL REMAIN ACTIVE BEYOND THE DEADLINE OF MARCH 2, 2025.
THE SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE WILL REVIEW THE SUBMITTED WORKS AFTER THE DEADLINE, SUBJECT TO THE EVENT’S LOGISTICS (MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS).
