"Revolutionizing Agriculture for a Sustainable Future"
Welcome to 9th IAC2024
Introduction
The global population, projected to reach 9 billion by 2050, presents a pressing challenge for agriculturists to ensure sufficient food supply while mitigating the negative environmental impacts of expanding food production.
With nearly half of the world's forests lost and dwindling groundwater sources, alongside biodiversity loss and escalating greenhouse gas emissions, urgent action is needed. By embracing sustainable farming practices, leveraging technology, and implementing climate-smart approaches, a resilient and environmentally conscious agricultural system can be built. Collaborative efforts and innovative thinking are crucial to address the regional and ecological disparities caused by climate change. Having the theme Revolutionizing Agriculture for a Sustainable Future", the 9th International Agriculture Congress 2024 will explore the sustainable agricultural practices and frontiers farming technologies to address food security and safety, preserve natural resources, and safeguard our planet for future generations.

Welcoming Remarks from the Chairman
Hello and a very warm regards to everyone.
It gives me great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all and to invite everyone to join us in the 9th International Agriculture Congress (9th IAC2024), scheduled to take place on September 3rd to 5th, 2024. This congress is a biannual event which is a flagship activity of the Faculty of Agriculture. This congress holds a special place in our hearts as we gather once again to delve into the transformative power of agriculture under the theme "Revolutionizing Agriculture for a Sustainable Future."
In the face of growing global challenges such as climate change and food insecurity,, the role of agriculture in ensuring sustainability cannot be overstated. It is through innovative practices, collaborative efforts, and dedication that we can navigate towards a future where agriculture not only sustains but thrives, ensuring food security, environmental conservation, and economic prosperity for generations to come.
This congress serves as a platform for scientists, academicians, researchers, practitioners, individuals and policymakers from around the globe to exchange ideas, share insights, and foster collaborations that will shape the future of agriculture. Our program encompasses a diverse range of topics, including sustainable farming practices, technological advancements, policy frameworks, and the socio-economic impact of agricultural innovations (please refer to the program for detailed scopes).
As the chairman of the 9th International Agriculture Congress, I cordially invite everyone to join our efforts in getting collective wisdom and expertise in our midst to drive meaningful change and pave the way for a more resilient and sustainable agricultural sector. I am confident that our deliberations will not only enrich our understanding but also inspire action towards sustainable agriculture in future.
I would also like to extend my invitation of agriculture related companies to join us as sponsors and strategic partners towards making this congress a reality. Together, let us begin this transformative journey and revolutionize agriculture for a sustainable future.
Warm regards,
Chairman, 9th International Agriculture Congress
