This conference will amalgamate recent research studies aiming to identify more clearly the issues involved in the evolution of the marketplace, the conception of products, food practices and uses, as well as the opinions of different institutions regarding children’s foods. Thus, the conference is open to contributions from all disciplines of Human, Economic and Social Sciences, and will include contributions from the fields of history, psychology, sociology, management, and communication sciences.

Furthermore, the two days will also provide the opportunity for close debate between researchers in Social Sciences and professionals from companies manufacturing food products for children, in round table discussions of topical issues.
