17th International Cereal and Bread Congress 2024. After stops in Beijing, Istanbul and a virtual New Zealand, in April 2024 the cosmopolitan community gathers in France, in Nantes, the green city on the Loire, to discuss and share knowledge on the challenges and opportunities of grain science and technology. INRAE, France´s National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment with its science dedicated to life, humans and the earth is providing its competence together with ICC, the International Association for Cereal Science and Technology to organize and frame an unforgettable event for the global cereal community. The 17th ICBC wishes to promote: “Healthy Cereal Diets from Sustainable Food Systems” as there is an urgent need for keeping the food systems within environmental limits. Food-system demand for environmental resources could increase by 50-90% without targeted mitigation measures. Key planetary boundaries could be exceeded by 2050, risking destabilization of ecosystem (EAT-Lancet Commission).
