The proposed conference on "Sustainable Agriculture for Food and Nutritional Security" aims to address pressing challenges in global food systems by promoting sustainable agricultural practices. This event will gather experts, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to exchange knowledge, innovations, and best practices that enhance agricultural productivity, resilience, and sustainability. The primary focus areas of the conference include sustainable agriculture and climate resilience, advances in crop production and protection, post-harvest management, value addition, waste utilization, biotechnology, technological advances in food and agriculture, and agricultural policy, extension, and public health. By addressing these topics, the conference seeks to foster a holistic approach to sustainable agriculture, integrating modern technologies with traditional practices to create resilient and productive food systems.
A significant goal of the conference is to contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) by promoting practices that increase agricultural productivity and ensure sustainable food production systems; SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) by emphasizing efficient water use and soil/water conservation techniques; SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) through the exploration of biofuels and renewable energy sources in agriculture; SDG 13 (Climate Action) by supporting innovations that improve climate resilience in agriculture; and SDG 15 (Life on Land) by promoting biodiversity and conservation efforts within agricultural landscapes. The expected outcomes of the conference include actionable policy recommendations, the establishment of collaborative networks, the dissemination of innovative practices, and the development of a comprehensive framework for integrating sustainable agricultural practices. The conference aims to enhance awareness and commitment to sustainable agriculture, ultimately contributing to improved food and nutritional security for present and future generations, thereby supporting global sustainable development.
