47th PARIS International Conference on “Ecological Agriculture, Biodiversity and Public Health” (EABPH-25) Dec. 3-5, 2025 Paris (France)

Call for papers/Topics Topics of Interest for Submission include, but are Not Limited to: I. Foundational Concepts & Interconnections - Defining Ecological Agriculture: Principles, practices, and philosophies (e.g., agroecology, organic farming, regenerative agriculture, permaculture). - Biodiversity in Agricultural Systems: Agrobiodiversity (crop varieties, livestock breeds, microbial diversity, pollinators, beneficial insects), wild biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, soil biodiversity. - The Food-Health-Environment Nexus: Understanding the complex relationships between food production, environmental health, and human well-being. - Ecosystem Services in Agriculture: Pollination, pest control, nutrient cycling, water regulation, soil health, climate regulation. II. Ecological Agriculture Practices & Impacts - Sustainable Farming Methods: Crop rotation, cover cropping, reduced tillage, integrated pest management (IPM), nutrient management, water conservation. - Organic and Biodynamic Farming: Standards, benefits, challenges, and scalability. - Agroforestry and Polyculture: Integrating trees and multiple crops for enhanced biodiversity and productivity. - Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in Agriculture: Indigenous practices and their relevance for sustainable food systems. - Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in Agriculture: Carbon sequestration, drought resilience, climate-smart agriculture. - Precision Agriculture and Technology: How technology can support ecological principles. - Farm-to-Fork Strategies: Connecting sustainable production with healthy consumption. III. Biodiversity Conservation in Agricultural Landscapes - Measuring and Monitoring Agrobiodiversity: Indicators, tools, and data collection. - Conservation of Genetic Resources: Seed banks, gene banks, in situ and ex situ conservation. - Habitat Restoration and Creation: Hedgerows, buffer zones, wildlife corridors, semi-natural habitats. - Pollinator Conservation: Strategies to protect and enhance pollinator populations. - Soil Biodiversity and Health: Microorganisms, soil structure, and their role in ecosystem function. - Impact of Pesticides and Fertilizers on Biodiversity: Alternatives and reduction strategies. - Policy and Incentives for Biodiversity-Friendly Farming: Subsidies, certifications, market mechanisms. IV. Public Health Dimensions - Nutritional Quality of Food: How ecological agriculture impacts nutrient density, phytochemicals, and overall dietary quality. - Food Safety and Contaminants: Reduction of pesticide residues, antibiotics, and other harmful substances in food. - Zoonotic Diseases and One Health: The link between agricultural practices, biodiversity loss, and the emergence of infectious diseases. - Farmer Health and Safety: Occupational hazards, mental health, and access to healthcare in rural communities. - Dietary Patterns and Health Outcomes: Promoting healthy diets through sustainable food systems. - Access to Healthy and Sustainable Food: Food security, food sovereignty, and equitable access. - Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in Agriculture: Reducing antibiotic use in livestock and its public health implications. - Environmental Exposure and Health: Air and water quality impacts from agricultural practices. - Community Health and Well-being: The broader social and economic benefits of ecological agriculture. V. Policy, Economics, and Social Aspects - Policy Frameworks and Governance: National and international policies supporting ecological agriculture, biodiversity, and public health (e.g., CAP, Farm to Fork, CBD). - Economic Viability of Ecological Agriculture: Market opportunities, supply chains, value addition, farmer livelihoods. - Consumer Awareness and Education: Promoting sustainable consumption and dietary choices. - Participatory Approaches and Stakeholder Engagement: Collaboration among farmers, scientists, policymakers, and consumers. - Social Equity and Justice in Food Systems: Addressing disparities and ensuring fair transitions. - Research, Innovation, and Knowledge Transfer: Bridging the gap between science and practice. - Investment and Funding for Sustainable Food Systems: Public and private funding mechanisms.
