(Deadline: 6 January 2019)
The ANH Academy invites the submission of abstracts for the Research Conference on research at the nexus of agriculture and food systems,
nutrition and health to be held in India from 24 -28 June 2019 (city TBC).The
conference programme will include invited papers for oral presentations of
various formats as well as poster sessions. We welcome papers from all relevant
disciplines, e.g. economics, nutrition, public health, epidemiology,
environmental sciences, agronomy, sociology, anthropology etc.
Key definitions for
the purpose of this call:
Nutrition outcomes refer broadly to food consumption trends,
food choice behaviours, dietary/feeding patterns, nutrient adequacy of diets,
nutritional status (including double burden of malnutrition).
Health outcomes refer to diet-related chronic diseases,
mental health, infectious diseases and health conditions associated with
agricultural environments and food systems, including zoonoses and
anti-microbial resistance, and food safety.
Agriculture and food systems include food production,
distribution, processing, trade, marketing; and the resources, systems,
stakeholders and institutions involved in these processes.
Nutrition/health pathways include upstream determinants of
agriculture and food systems (examples: environment, land-use, ecology,
governance, macro-economic policies) and their impacts–socioeconomic, distributional,
cultural, agro-ecological, geographical, behavioral etc.–which have
implications on nutrition and health outcomes. For instance, these could
involve the pathway linking agriculture and food systems, household water
security and infectious disease transmission; or the pathways linking food
advertising, food cultures, diet quality and diet-related chronic conditions.
How to submit and
submission deadline
Authors should submit abstracts through this Submittable
link by 6 January 2019 at 23.59 GMT. Any queries can be directed to ANH-Academy@LSHTM.ac.uk.
Selection process
The ANH Academy Week Research Conference receives more
abstracts than it can accept for oral or poster presentations. Therefore,
abstracts will be reviewed by the ANH Academy Week 2019 Scientific Committee and
selected on the basis of their scientific quality, originality and relevance to
the themes and methods encouraged above. The panel will make a decision on
whether an abstract is selected for an oral presentation or a poster session.
All poster presenters will have the opportunity to present a one-minute summary
of their poster during a Conference plenary session.
Abstracts can be submitted here via Submittable.
