The International Congress on Food and Environmental Sciences (ICFES 24')
under the theme:
Environmental Biotechnology to Shape the Future of Bioresources’ Valorization
19- 20 January 2024, Faculty of Sciences, Meknes, Morocco
Context
In an era marked by increasing environmental concerns, resource depletion, and the urgent need for sustainable solutions, the intersection of bioresources and environmental biotechnology holds tremendous promise. Bioresources encompass a wide array of organic materials derived from agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and industrial processes. Paradoxically, they harbor immense untapped potential to address pressing global challenges, including climate change mitigation, environmental pollution, energy security, and food production. Environmental biotechnology, a dynamic and interdisciplinary field, offers innovative and environmentally friendly solutions to harness the latent value of bioresources and by-products. It leverages the power of living organisms, biocatalysts, and advanced bioprocesses to improve agricultural cultivars, bioremediate contaminated environments, transform waste into wealth, and mitigate the negative impacts of human activities on the planet. The potential applications of environmental biotechnology are therefore boundless. The theme reflects a forward-looking perspective that embraces circularity, innovation, and sustainability.
Objective
The International Congress aims to bring together scientists, leading experts, stakeholders, and policymakers from around the world to engage in a comprehensive exploration of the diverse facets of bioresources’ valorization using environmental biotechnology, with a focus on harnessing the untapped potential of value-added processes and products. This event will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, collaborative discussions, and the presentation of cutting-edge research in the field.
