This document provides information about an upcoming pre-conference on global sustainability and food systems to be held on July 29, 2015. The pre-conference will examine current food production and consumption and the need to transition to sustainable systems. It will promote sustainable agriculture solutions to issues like resource depletion, environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, hunger, climate change and loss of farmland. The pre-conference will take an interdisciplinary approach to food production under tracks related to agriculture, animal science and aquaculture. A main conference on the topics will follow from December 28-29, 2015 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

1. Pre-Conference Theme: “Future Challenges & Global Sustainability”
Conference Date: Wednesday 29th July, 2015 9:00am - 1:00pm
Conference Tracks: Agricultural, Animal Science and Aquaculture
This Pre- Conference examines our current food systems from production to consumption, and the urgent
need to transition to long-term sustainability. The conference promotes the study and application of
sustainable agriculture for solutions to the complex problems of resource depletion, environmental
degradation, a narrowing of agro biodiversity, continued world hunger, climate change, and the loss of
farm land. Rather than focus on separate disciplinary components of agriculture, animal sciences and aqua
culture. This conference seeks abstracts on an interdisciplinary approach to food production as one
process in a complex landscape of agricultural production, conservation, and human interaction under the
specific tracks. The main conference will be held 28-29 December, 2015, Colombo, Sri Lanka with
speakers from more than 50 countries,
