The next Seafood & Health conference will be held in 2010 in Australia and is expected to attract hundreds of researchers and practitioners from around the world. The event, Seafood & Health 2010, will be organized by Australian and U.S. agencies.
The conference reviews the latest research on the benefits of seafood consumption and includes recommendations on how to apply the information and improve the health of consumers worldwide. The conference was last held in 2005 in Washington, D.C., and sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Australia expects to host experts from institutions such as the U.N. Food & Agriculture Organization, the U.S. National Institutes of Health, the Harvard School of Public Health, the London Metropolitan University's Institute of Brain Chemistry & Human Nutrition, as well as many others, including Australian researchers in the field.
"New discoveries and a deeper understanding of the health benefits of seafood are occurring at a rapid rate and the conference will highlight the very latest information available. It will also look at the best ways to apply this knowledge to improve the health of everyone from the unborn to those facing the problems of old age," Roy Palmer, spokesman for the Australian organizing committee, told Australian Food News.
