    The 4th international scientific-practical conference on "Food safety: Global and national problems" has started at Samarkand State University.

    About 30 industry representatives from foreign countries such as the USA, Russia, Germany, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and more than 240 experts and scientists of our Republic are participating in the event, which is held in Russian and English, with their lectures in the field of food safety.

    At the conference, the report of the deputy head of the sanitary-epidemiological security and public health service of the Republic of Uzbekistan, professor Nurmat Otabekov was presented to the participants of the conference.

    Also, within the framework of the conference, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) representative office in Uzbekistan awarded "The best innovative research work on food safety" among undergraduate and graduate students of higher education institutions. ” competition winners were awarded.

    - I am participating in the international conference with my presentation entitled "Analysis of dietary compounds of wild fruits: contribution to food safety and sustainability", - says Professor Muhammad Zafar of Pakistan's Quaid-e-Azam University. - Food security is not only a local but also a global problem. Such activities serve to prevent poverty and hunger. I believe that the conference traditionally held at Samarkand State University will be the first step in finding a solution to food safety problems. In addition, the gathering of international organizations in one place is an important foundation for cooperation in the field in the future. I am glad to have positive feedback and useful information. I am grateful to all the organizers.

    - In the conditions of the current globalization, it is not possible to achieve food safety at the level of one country, but it is very important to take systematic measures and define the main directions for the whole world, - says SamSU professor, academician Bakriddin Zaripov. - In this regard, the international scientific conference on the topic "Food safety: national and global problems", which is traditionally held at Samarkand State University in cooperation with world-renowned scientists, serves as an important platform. The conference, which will be held for the fourth time this year, will prepare the ground for the exchange of experiences and ideas and the development of tasks planned for the future by prestigious organizations operating in the field and scientists, experts, investors, and experts from more than 20 countries of the world.

    - The international conference with the participation of well-known scientists and influential organizations will be a scientific basis for solving current problems, - says Thomas Lampkin, professor of the University of Washington. - I came from the USA to participate in the conference. I am participating with a lecture entitled "Climate change and productivity of agroecosystems". The problem of food security is closely related to climate change. If we solve some of these problems, we will save millions of lives...
