Join Us at The 4th IPB International Conference on Nutrition and Food!

The ICNF series began in 2020 with the 1st IPB International Conference on Nutrition and Food (ICNF2020). Building on the success of ICNF 2020, ICNF 2022, and ICNF 2024, this fourth conference continues to grow as an international forum addressing nutrition and food challenges in the 21st century.

This conference will invite speakers from various countries, who are experts in nutrition and food.
