International Conference on Reorienting Agronomic Research and Education to Combat Current and Future Challenges in Agriculture will be organized by National Agricultural Higher Education Project (NAHEP) from 20-22 September 2021 in virtual mode.
The objective of the Conference:
To provide a deeper understanding of the different aspects of reorientation of agronomic research and education. The conference targets the scientists and students of agriculture and allied subjects.
Why to Attend?
-
During the last few decades, field management has advanced from plowing the soil with a stone fitted on a tree branch drawn by a horse, to monitoring the entire field with artificial intelligence and drone technology. This clearly depicts a lot widening of the dimension of agronomy during the last five decades.
-
In the 21st century, agriculture in general and agronomy, in particular, faced a lot of challenges like the global food crisis and pest outbreaks, climate change which made food security more uncertain. The challenges were further aggravated due to steadily rising population and scarcities of water, land, and productive agricultural systems. The retention of rural youth in agriculture by endowing their skills to take farming not for subsistence but as a business is another challenge.
-
Though agronomy today has made remarkable advances right in harnessing the genetic potential of crops to managing soil health and coping with climate change, tools for real-time cropping system monitoring and management. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of agronomic science will largely be determined by its continuous linkage with the end-user and the dynamic technology surrounding that end user.
-
In the present scenario of the latest technologies, the greatest interest is on reliable credible knowledge on how those technologies can best be put to use in adding value to the business, whether the business is a farm or an entity supporting a farm. Further, preparation for future challenges by incorporating and developing, reliable and feasible technologies for farmers is needed.
-
Hence, the reorientation of agronomic research and education is of utmost need to guide young minds to the current challenges in agriculture. With all of these in the background, an International conference in virtual mode is planned.
