This year’s meeting with a focus on the scientific advances in several health and nutritional areas including the newly emerging field of hemp and medicinal cannabis.
New Brunswick, NJ
Human, animal, and plant health, climate change, and food security remain among the greatest challenges for societies around the globe. Natural products and medicinally active plants can contribute significantly to improving health. The 13th annual conference of the American Council for Medicinally Active Plants (ACMAP) invites you to join us to share experiences, scientific studies, and lessons from lab and field discovery to illustrate the latest advances in scientific knowledge that can be used to impact and transform the lives of others in our country and in developing countries.
This year’s meeting will focus on scientific advances in several health and nutritional areas, including the newly emerging field of hemp and medicinal cannabis. Let this meeting be a forum where we come together to reflect on both basic and applied research and development activities that demonstrate how the application of science can and does make a difference to communities and society. We invite you to present your research either as an oral presentation and/or as a poster. We also invite all those contributing papers to submit their work as full papers for consideration for publication in the Journal of Medicinally Active Plants (JMAP).
We look forward to seeing you in Texas.
