The 1st International Conference on Food as Medicine (ICFAM 2026), organised by the Food as Medicine (FAM) Research Strength, Monash University Malaysia, provides a platform for researchers from around the world to share the latest advancements in their scientific work. The conference aims to highlight the critical role of food in health by showcasing cutting-edge research on how diet and specific foods can help prevent, manage, and even treat chronic diseases.
