The ANH Academy invites the submission of abstracts for the Research Conference at the nexus of agriculture and food systems, nutrition and health to be held in Lilongwe, Malawi from 29 June - 3 July, 2020.
What we are looking for
The conference programme will include invited papers for oral presentations as well as poster sessions.
Preference will be given to studies that address truly interdisciplinary questions, capture emerging debates, and contain substantive innovative analytical content relating to nutrition/health pathways in agriculture and food systems.
Conference themes
We invite papers under the following themes:
Global food system governance and political economy
Macro-policy pathways and impacts
Diets and nutrition in conflict, protracted and/or humanitarian contexts
Learning from failure and success: Implementation science and programme impacts

Behavioural research related to diets, nutrition and health
Innovative methods, tools, and metrics
Agricultural technologies, IT and big data: Impacts for nutrition and health
Health risks and impacts in agriculture and food systems
Environmental effects, sustainability and planetary health
Please note that we are seeking presentations that speak to the above themes, but in particular:
Results and lessons learned from scientific research, and not research plans.
Studies that use innovative methods or metrics, or existing approaches applied in relevant new ways.
Studies that investigate equity concerns in any of the abovementioned themes
Studies that did not work (‘lessons from failure’).
Scientific research from any discipline using a variety of rigorous methodological approaches – qualitative, mixed-methods or quantitative methodological approaches – are welcome.
