Under the overarching theme “Farming and Agri-Food Systems Dynamics: Facing Crises and Trade-Offs in Transition Pathways”, the conference will revisit current progress and debates in co-designing and advancing sustainable farming systems, with particular attention to how they confront crises, inform decisions across scales, and navigate the trade-offs and synergies shaping transition pathways and their impacts.

In the first step, we received 400 abstract contributions for IFSA 2026, reflecting the strong engagement of the international community.

IFSA 2026 will take place in Montpellier, France, and is organised by the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Montpellier (CIHEAM-Montpellier) from 29 June to 3 July 2026.

The conference is organised around four main themes:

• Theme 1: Transformative changes
• Theme 2: Landscape and communities
• Theme 3: Capacity development to support systemic change
• Theme 4: Food Production, Consumption, Food Landscape & WEFE Nexus

Bringing together an international and interdisciplinary community, the event will foster critical reflection and dialogue across research and practice.

Full contributions (short papers) will be submitted by co-authors by December 31st, 2025 (deadline for short papers).

The conference will be preceded by a PhD course.

Stay tuned for next news. https://ifsa2026.sciencesconf.org/
