LACC/IGW 4th ICC latin american cereals conference: book of abstracts

Abstract

For the first time, ICC and CIMMYT are collaborating for the LACC4 - 4th ICC Latin American Cereals Conference in combination with the IGW - 13th International Gluten Workshop so that cereal science and technology in Latin America will be in the spotlight. LACC is an event series of international conferences that promotes scientific and technological knowledge related to the production of grains, cereals and food. The multidisciplinary audience is characteristic for LACC. We welcome professionals connected to the value chains of grains and cereals from agricultural production to the food industry and consumers. At LACC4 experts from around the world will present on themes spanning from recent developments in breeding and agronomy to cereal processing technologies, quality assessment, and nutrition and health and food safety and security. As participants you will find a program of the highest scientific quality with keynote lectures, presentations, and poster sessions on recent developments selected from large numbers of submitted abstracts, while industry will showcase its products and services. We would like to thank all the global experts who will share their research and insights as well as the endorsing organisations that advertised the LACC4 all over the world. Our special thanks also go to our sponsors and exhibitors who will contribute significantly to the success of this conference. Today, many branches of science require even greater international collaboration than before, and ICC actively pursues the development of links with cereal and food associations at country, regional and international level. Enabling a unique platform for collaboration on a global level where participants from around the world can interact and exchange knowledge and experience is a main goal of ICC.
