The Indian Society of Agricultural Biochemists, Department of Agricultural Biochemistry, C.S.Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur and Department of Biochemistry, Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati are jointly organizing an International Conference on “Role of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology in Food and Nutritional Security along with the XII Convention of the Indian Society at Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, India from December 11-14, 2013. The present theme was chosen in the light of alarming problem of food and it is essential for the survival of human being and animals. Getting of best food to the individuals is inevitable to the globe and also to Indians. Recent reports from news media said that the Indian kids lack required essential food for growth of child. Hence the role of Agriculture is essential for the betterment of Society’s Health. The agriculturists produce food grains, fruits and vegetables which may contain almost all nutrients for future of the globe. Hence to meet still problems in agriculture the role of Biochemists and Biotechnologists shall be of upmost in importance. Therefore, considering the significant role of these scientists this International Conference is proposed to help the farmers who use animals and also field as its best research field to produce best nutrients. All scientists who will come all over the globe to participate may hold discussion on various themes proposed in the Conference.
The international Conference will provide a platform to biochemists, biotechnologies, nutritionist, food technologists and industrialists involved in both plant development and providing better food and nutrition security to the society to interact and formulate recommendations which may serve as guidelines to those engaged in research and development in the area.
SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME   :  The conference will have three categories of presentation:
