Overview:
What can I say other than my colleagues at Huagzhong Agricultural University did a magnificent job organizing this conference.  It should be noted that four sites have been proposed for the 2020 IFW: 1) Mexico, 2) USA, 3) Canada, and 4) South Africa.

Great seeing friends/colleagues- just not enough  time to catch up: Alex, Moritz, Longyu, Jibin, and many more!
