Growers Symposium to Focus on Health Benefits of Berries
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 10/06/2015
Berry researchers from around the globe are heading to Madison next week for the 2015 Berry Health Benefits Symposium. This international conference, which will be held October 13-15 at the Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center, is dedicated to showcasing the latest scientific research on the
links between berries and health.
Presentations will cover findings related to a wide variety of health issues, including breast and colon cancer, leukemia, diabetes, gut health, metabolism, brain aging, heart health and more.
"Health-conscious consumers have come to expect that producers, ingredient providers and marketers of berry products deliver high quality and efficacious products," says Chris Krueger, a UW-Madison researcher in the Department of Animal Sciences. "The Berry Health Benefits Symposium provides a forum in
which scientists, media and consumers can come together to gain a deeper understanding of the most recent advancements in berry health research."
Put on under the auspices of the National Berry Crops Initiative, the symposium includes research presentations, a half-day workshop for non-scientists titled 'The Berry Sessions.' Tour of Wisconsin's cranberry growing region will also be available for guests who are interested in participating.
