The theme of this year’s conference is “Green Agri-food Energy Production for a Better World in a Changing Climate”. Through the conference, we hope to generate substantial contributions to create a better solution and new value on sustainability and sustainable development of agriculture, food, and energy. We are confident that valuable innovation that can change or create more efficient processes, products and ideas are forged after attending this conference.
Sustainability is a difficult issue and complex. It is not a goal but a process. I would like to thank the organizing committee and the co-organizer institutions for the hard work and full commitment to the preparation of this conference.
Finally, we congratulate Chiang Mai University, Thailand and Phuket Rajabaht University, THAILAND for hosting this conference.
