About Conference

About SAFE2026

Activating Resilience
The 12th International Conference on Sustainable Agriculture, Food, and Energy

SAFE2026 represents the 12th International Conference on Sustainable Agriculture, Food, and Energy, continuing the SAFE-Network’s long-standing commitment to advancing sustainable agriculture, food security, and environmental resilience.

Since its inception, the SAFE-Network has served as a vital platform connecting researchers, academics, policymakers, and practitioners to exchange ideas and innovations that contribute to a more sustainable and resilient global future.

The SAFE journey began in 2013 in Padang, Indonesia, where the inaugural conference laid the foundation for more than a decade of transdisciplinary collaboration. Following its early success, the network rapidly expanded across Asia and beyond, fostering regional and international partnerships.

After a brief pause in physical gatherings during 2020–2021 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the SAFE-Network returned stronger than ever, reaffirming its mission to address pressing challenges in sustainability, food systems, and environmental resilience.

In 2026, SAFE reaches a new milestone as it convenes in Almaty, Kazakhstan. As the first SAFE conference hosted in Central Asia, SAFE2026 plays a pivotal role in advancing the SAFE-Network Mission 2026 by promoting sustainable practices, strengthening regional collaboration, and responding to global food and environmental challenges.
