Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is with great pleasure that I extend a warm and cordial invitation to you for the 37th Annual Congress of the Postgraduate Institute of Agriculture (PGIA), University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. This year’s congress is scheduled for November 21st, 2025, and will be held in the scenic academic setting of Peradeniya, located in the culturally rich city of Kandy.
Over the years, this annual gathering has grown to become a key event in our academic calendar, bringing together a vibrant community of researchers, professionals, and students. It provides a valuable platform for postgraduate researchers to engage with peers and experts, present their scientific contributions, and build connections that spark innovation and collaborative opportunities.
The theme for this year’s congress, "Fostering Innovations in Agri-Food Systems for Healthy and Equitable Consumption," reflects the growing global focus on sustainability, nutrition, and fairness in food systems. We aim to encourage thoughtful dialogue and share innovative solutions that can shape the future of agriculture and food sectors.
Researchers pursuing postgraduate degrees are invited to submit extended abstracts of original work that is either ongoing or completed after July 31, 2022. Submissions must not have been published or under consideration elsewhere. Accepted abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings, and selected abstracts will be invited to submit full papers for possible publication in the peer-reviewed journal, Tropical Agricultural Research, Volu
The congress will continue its tradition of hosting esteemed guests and keynote speakers who are leaders in their fields. In addition to the academic sessions, participants can benefit from skill-enhancing pre-congress workshops and enjoy networking and informal engagement through planned social events.
We hope you will join us for what promises to be an inspiring and intellectually rewarding experience at the 37th PGIA Annual Congress. Kindly save the date, and we look forward to welcoming you to this important event.
