The TropAg conference will incorporate HarlanIV, AgFutures and four other themes as follows, as part of the conference program.

1: Agribusiness, value chains, and the bioeconomy
2: Predictive agriculture
3: Sustainable agrifood systems
4: Healthy agriculture and food for healthy communities
5: AgFutures
6: Harlan

View descriptions about each Theme (including HarlanIV) from the TropAg website.

Abstracts must be submitted by Tuesday 31 May 2022.  

Oral presentations

A small number of abstract authors will be selected to deliver a short 10-minute oral presentation during one of the conference symposium sessions. Abstract presentations will be selected based on the high scientific quality and potential impact of research. We also encourage higher degree by research (HDR) students and early and mid-career researchers to submit an abstract for consideration for an oral presentation.

Posters

Accepted posters will be on display for the duration of the conference. Authors will be asked to attend their relevant poster viewing session linked to a specified conference theme. The date and time of poster viewing sessions will be confirmed in mid-2022.
