The third in the pace-setting series of symposia, SEAVEG 2016 will focus on improved nutrition and livelihoods, and will be held at the Putrajaya Marriott Hotel, Putrajaya, Malaysia, 6-8 September 2016. This symposium will highlight the critical importance of vegetables in Southeast Asia and identify technologies for increased vegetable production, marketing and consumption; to realize the potential of providing nutrition to rapidly growing and increasingly urbanized populations.

SEAVEG 2016 will focus on the role of vegetables to nurture a balanced and nutritious diet, helping to alleviate micronutrient malnutrition and assure better health. Vegetables are high value crops and thus growers are receptive to acquiring skills and technologies to ensure sustainable productivity of quality vegetables to satisfy market demand, hence contributing to increased incomes and improved livelihoods.
