About Conference

Welcome to the Global Agri & Food Safety Congress 2026, set against the vibrant backdrop of Amsterdam, Netherlands. This unique event bridges two rapidly evolving fields— agriculture & food safety—to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and spark innovative research at the intersection of brain and immune system function.

As the boundaries between disciplines continue to blur, our conference offers a dynamic platform for scientists, clinicians, and industry leaders to explore the complex interactions between agriculture and food safety. From precision agriculture and smart farming to food safety in processing and manufacturing, our sessions will highlight cutting-edge discoveries and translational research shaping the future of agriculture.

Join us in Amsterdam for a transformative experience of scientific exchange, cultural richness, and professional networking as we unite to advance the frontiers of agriculture & food safety.
