The conference program, whose subtitle is "agriculture, environment and wellbeing", is based on various aspects of scientific research and policies, related to plant, animal and microbial biological diversity for food and agriculture, as well as to natural ecosystems.

The main objectives of the conference are: 1) to examine the urgent issues of biodiversity protection in a scenario of climate change and food insecurity; 2) to disseminate current knowledge in the identification, application and development of strategies aimed at promoting the diversification in natural and anthropized systems, cultural and food diversity; 3) to increase knowledge on the function, distribution and abundance of biodiversity, 4) to communicate scientific knowledge on biodiversity.
