Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a technique that detects the chemical environment of atomic nuclei by the absorption of radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation when in the presence of a high magnetic field. NMR is used in chemistry and related fields for high-resolution molecular structure determination and the study of molecular dynamics. Apart from determining the molecular structure, NMR spectroscopy can also determine phase changes, conformational and configurational alterations, solubility, and diffusion potential

NMR spectroscopy has undergone a remarkable development in the past few decades, and has several important applications. Medical practitioners, for example, employ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a multidimensional NMR imaging technique, for diagnostic purposes. Similarly, NMR is useful in drug discovery due to its ability to directly observe chemical compounds and target biomolecules, and can be used for ligand-based and protein-based approaches.

With this background, COMSTECH in collaboration with the NAPRECA is organizing a one-day webinar on “Recent Advances in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy”

Target Audience: Professionals/Early stage researchers with relevant background,NMR scientists especially those working in natural product chemistry.

Introduction:

Food systems contribute one-third of the global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Hence, limiting global warming well below 2 degrees would be hard without mitigating emissions from food systems. Furthermore, climate change negatively impacts food systems, jeopardizing food security. Ongoing and projected climate change and extreme weather events could result in food insecurity and malnutrition of millions of people, with cascading effects beyond food systems. Thus, it is crucial to explore climate actions leading to sustainable food systems and transform food systems to net zero greenhouse gas emissions

Multiple response options exist throughout food systems to mitigate climate change and build climate resilience. These options include institutional management and governance actions that could prevent or reduce the severe climate risks to future human food security and nutrition. Moreover, the food system approach could bring down adaptation and mitigation silos with novel ways to integrate climate change solutions from production to consumption. Thus, this workshop aims to provide a platform for exchanging options for food systems transformation for climate action among various stakeholders. The workshop focuses on Africa, the world region suffering from several issues related to food and nutrition security.

Objectives:

The specific objectives of the workshop are threefold:

• Bring various stakeholders together to discuss and communicate the state-of-the-art food system transformation options to ensure food and nutrition security in Africa, contributing to climate actions.
• Exchange best practices globally and in Africa, to identify strategies for transforming food systems and ensuring climate action, accounting for local and Indigenous knowledge
• Develop a consensus paper on food system transformation strategies to ensure food and nutrition security, implementing climate actions.

Target Audience:

Farmers, agribusiness owners, food industry managers, supply chain professionals, agri-entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, exporters, and academicians from the OIC countries are encouraged to participate.

Key Contents:

The workshop consists of plenary sessions, break-out groups, and a field visit. The plenary sessions will consist of a few keynote presentations, panel discussions, and reporting back from the break-out groups. Participants will discuss different food system transformation strategies in the break-out groups. These groups represent various components of the food systems, including food production, supply chains, diets, and food loss/waste.
