Researchers from the CGIAR Research Initiative on Sustainable Healthy Diets through Food Systems Transformation (SHiFT) will participate in the 1st International Conference on Green Transformation from October 24-25, 2024, in Ha Noi, Viet Nam.

The conference has been organized by the School of Interdisciplinary Studies at Viet Nam National University to connect and spread emerging research and methods while supporting the development of domestic scientific staff.
