The third in the pace setting series of symposia;
SEAVEG, will focus on improved nutrition and
livelihoods, and will be held in Bangi Selangor,
Malaysia, 13-15 Se ptember 2016. This symposium will
highlight the critical importance of vegetables in
Southea st Asia and identify technologies for
increased vegetable production, marketing and
consump tion; to realize the potential of providing
nutriti on to rapidly growing and increasingly urb
anized populations. SEAVEG 2016 will focus on the
role of vegetables to nurture a balanced and
nutritious diet, helping to alleviate micronut rient
malnutrition and assure better health. V egetables
are high value crops and thus growers are receptive
to acquiring skills and tech nologies to ensure
sustainable productivity of quality vegetables to
satisfy market demand, he nce contributing to
increased incomes and impro ved livelihoods.
Further, vegetables require careful maintenance and
are often managed by women; who are also responsible
for household nutrition, therefore benefits in
production and vegetable affordability directly
benefit h ousehold members through improved diets.
The symposium ‘SEAVEG 2016: Vegetables for improved
nutrition and livelihoods’ will comprise oral
papers, poste r display and a trade exhibition. The
o rganizers strongly encourage both types of
presentation and will ensure that the posters recei
ve good visibility at the symposium. One set of
proceedings will be provided on registr ation that
contains presentation abstracts and a se cond set of
proceedings at a later date containing written
papers derived from oral presentations.
