Join CAMA 2025: Where Innovation and Collaboration Shape the Future of CA/MAP Systems for Fresh Produce

The XIV International Controlled and Modified Atmosphere Research Conference (CAMA 2025) is set to bring together leading minds in postharvest science and technology. Scheduled for May 18–22, 2025, in the picturesque Wenatchee, Washington, USA, this highly anticipated event promises to be a hub for innovation, collaboration, and advancement in the field of controlled and modified atmosphere (CA/MAP) systems for fruits and vegetables.

A Focus on Sustainability and Quality

CAMA 2025 will focus on the latest advancements in CA/MAP technologies, which play a pivotal role in preserving the quality, extending the shelf life, and enhancing the safety of fresh produce. Attendees can expect to explore topics like cutting-edge sensor and monitoring systems, the impact of altered atmospheres on fruit and vegetable physiology, and strategies for reducing energy consumption and carbon footprints in CA/MAP systems.

Key Dates to Remember

• Abstract submission opens: May 19, 2024
• Extended abstract submission deadline: February 20, 2025
• Provisional acceptance notification: January 20, 2025
