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 9^th 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.

Objectives:

1. To create a forum for intellectual dialogue to discuss, deliberate and disseminate innovative ideas and findings to enhance agriculture productivity.
2. To expose delegates to advanced and proven technologies in agriculture
3. To showcase discoveries, innovations, strategies and policies to enhance agricultural sustainability
