About the Conference

Since its inception in 2002, the Wallace Conference has served as a premier forum for high-level discussions on science and technology strategies pertinent to tropical agriculture, natural resource management, and biodiversity conservation. The IX conference aims to build upon the insights and collaborations fostered in previous editions, particularly the 2023 conference, which focused on transforming food systems in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) in response to environmental degradation and climate change.

Building upon the rich legacy of the Wallace Scientific Conferences, the upcoming 2025 edition will center on the One Health approach, emphasizing the intricate connections between human, animal, and environmental health. This holistic perspective is crucial for addressing global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and food and water security.
