Legumes for Global Health Legume crops and products for food, feed and environmental benefits
The International Steering Committee cordially invites you to participate in the
5th International Food Legume Research Conference (IFLRC) & 7th European Conference on Grain Legumes (AEP)
26th to 30th April 2010, Antalya, Turkey
IFLRC V & AEP VII
The world’s two major grain legume conferences will hold a joint meeting, bringing together the latest scientific information on all aspects of grain legumes in the context of their global impact on food, feed and environmental benefits. The conference will feature current research and developments for grain legumes in the form of oral presentations, poster sessions and topical workshops. The conference will be multidisciplinary and will include invited keynote presentations by leading international scientists on current topics of interest to the global research community. Participation by graduate students is strongly encouraged.
