Dear Dr. Reviewed by Tony Stankus,

Greetings from IFHN-2018, Rome, Italy!

Hope this email finds you in best of health and spirit.

With great pleasure we announce the Innovations in Food Science and Human Nutrition (IFHN-2018) to be held during September 13-15, 2018 in Rome, Italy with the theme of “Transforming Challenges into Opportunities to Feed the Future” We have gone through your publications and expertise entitled “Review of Street Farm: Growing Food, Jobs, and Hope on the Urban Frontier” we thought that would be an excellent fit for “IFHN-2018”. It is an honor to inviting to our conference, as we are aware of your great contribution to this field of science.

Sustainability Tip of the Week

Catalogs can be recycled. But why not reduce the number of unwanted catalogs you receive? Choose to opt-out of receiving them altogether! CatalogChoice is a non-profit organization working to stop junk mail for good. Sign up on their site, enter catalog names, and they’ll send merchants opt-out requests on your behalf. Save mature trees and water, and reduce greenhouse gases and solid waste—all right from your desk!
