5F FARMING – CONFERENCE 2021 - Cancelled Due to COVID-19

Program

The Program is organized for Practicing Plant breeders, Industry leaders, Crop Science Researchers, Academic faculty and leaders, Farmers/Agriculturists, Opinion leaders and Policy experts, Government officials/Administrators, Marketing & Extension professionals and Students.

BACKGROUND

Agriculture has always been challenged by the need to develop climate resilient, high yielding crop varieties for Food, Feed, Fiber, Fuel & Fine chemicals (5F). Post COVID-19 scenario is likely to be highly stressful for all sectors including agriculture due to disruption on the availability of seasonal workers, supply chain interruptions, cash-strapped start-ups, logistic issues ect. Some of these disruptive spurs, which may remain even after the pandemic ends, have brought a new dimension of awareness to risk preparedness, co-dependencies and the risks in the pursuit of efficiency.

This is the time to ‘Realign Indian Agriculture for a Sustainable Future’ , through redefining the performance metrics for the robustness of agribusiness, create resilient markets for economic sustainability and shorten food travel for adequate food availability. Agriculture should be poised for recovery through implementation of innovative policies and strategies, acquisition of science and technology, development of local content, and tailor made local solutions to kickstart the sustainable development of agriculture. Some of the key considerations for ‘Realigning Indian Agriculture for a Sustainable Future’ are:

  • Comprehensive integration of cutting-edge science and precision technology required for the sustainability and tapping full potential of agriculture stake holders
  • Value chains must be diversified to meet the evolving consumer preferences, enhance nutritional intake, and develop market for new consumer - preferred products
  • Agriculture and food processing industry must be strengthened locally through successful FPO models to ensure future rural prosperity for development
  • Reprioritizing skills sector and technology interventions for continuous learning as the key aspects to boost - individual and industrial agility to meet current and future challenges
  • Array of policy reform required to support agriculture, input and output value chains, and remunerative markets to farmers to ensure national food and nutrition security
  • Attract young and capable professionals to build a resilient ecosystem for sustainable primary and secondary agriculture ecosystem in the country

We expect keynote and invited speakers who will review the recent developments in enabling technologies that are needed to realign agriculture for primary production, value addition and targeted marketing strategies of the products to increase profitability to the farmers and attract talented and dynamic youth to join the work force of agriculture. Experts will also discuss the marketing related challenges faced by the grower, and formulate the strategies to strengthen policies favoring secondary agriculture development in India. The conference will provide a perfect platform for Scientists, Industry Leaders, Policy-Makers, Farmers, Students and other stakeholders for networking and to learn from each other for a better tomorrow.
