"Nutrition in Extreme Environments" Conference

Montpellier School of Pharmacy, Lecture Hall J – 15 Avenue Charles Flahault, 34090 Montpellier.

This year, students in the first year of the Master’s program in Nutrition and Food Science are in charge of organizing the traditional conference, which will focus on nutrition in extreme environments and will take place on November 30 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The goal of this project is to answer the following question:“How can we feed ourselves under extreme conditions and in extreme climates?”

Nutrition is one of the cornerstones of our health and well-being, especially when it comes to pushing our limits. That is why we will first introduce the concept of “extreme environments” before exploring several subtopics: high-risk areas (war zones, polluted areas, or areas affected by natural disasters); the impact of these extreme environments on health (both psychological and physiological aspects) and on physical performance; and the main techniques for food preparation and storage.

The speakers will share their experiences and insights on the various topics covered.
