Biomin Asia Nutrition Forum takes off in October
Animal health and nutrition specialist Biomin will start its biennial event, Biomin Asia Nutrition Forum on 10 October.
The forum will cater specifically to the Asian audience, spanning over six cities across Asia from 10 to 21 October, from Cebu to Pattaya, Coimbatore, Chang Sha, Zheng Zhou and Tokyo.
The theme of the forum is “Sustainability: defining the basics, addressing the essentials, introducing NutriEconomics”.
“The great challenge in agricultural science today is to produce sufficient food in a sustainable system that will feed the 9 billion people expected to be on this earth by 2050“ says Professor David Farrell, a key speaker.
“As the price of food escalates and food riots are happening amongst the poor, we must get smarter to meet the challenge. There are solutions and there will be costs.”
With more people to feed and finite resources to depend on, the feed and animal production industry has to grow profitably without compromising the ability to meet future needs.

Targeting at key industry professionals from the poultry, pig, dairy and aquaculture sectors, the forum will feature an impressive panel of leading industry experts like
- David Farrell, Professor from the University of Queensland;
- John Baize, President of John C. Baize and Associates;
- Robert Van Barneveld, Professor from the University of New England and Consultant Research Scientist (Nutrition) of Barneveld Nutrition Pty Ltd, and
