The Post-Harvest Group and Industries has been conducting activities since 1988, when the first symposium was held in Murcia, and has organized events continuously for over 30 years. This Group’s main objective is to study the key factors affecting the quality and safety of plant products, both at the time of harvest and after prolonged storage in conservation chambers. Additionally, it addresses those post-harvest technologies that are in the experimental phase but have a promising future for application in the food industry. During the 3 days of the Congress, the Organizing Committee has prepared a very attractive scientific program with five thematic blocks focused on transferring research results to companies in the sector. At the same time, a cultural and gastronomic program has been prepared where we will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and enjoy Aragonese cuisine.
In the context of the Congress, a collaboration with the Horticulture Journal has been established, which has a wide distribution in print, but especially online in Spain and all of Latin America, with over 200,000 unique visitors in a single month. As a result of this collaboration, 3/4 papers will be published to include in the issue that will be distributed at the congress. Those BIOVEGEN members interested in this dissemination opportunity can find the publication guidelines at the following link. The deadline for submitting papers is May 20, 2022.
