Track 6: Agriculture Climatology

Agricultural climatology is a field of study that studies how climate affects the cultural conditions of agricultural plants, animal husbandry, the incidence of harmful impacts and most importantly agricultural operational procedures in general. The outcomes of relevant investigations are referred to as "planning information" collectively. The use of yearly divisions drawn from the universal calendar for time periods is widespread in climate statistics.

• Natural hazards
• Greenhouse effect
• Agro-climatic zones
• Response of crops to climate change

Track 7: Agriculture & Food Security

Food security in a population implies that everyone has adequate food at all times to fulfil their dietary needs for a creative and active life. Food security has always been a crucial issue for human civilizations throughout history. Concerns regarding the effects of financial development/crisis and population increase on universal food security and food production have grown in recent decades. Farming and Food Security meets the needs of the global agriculture community from smallholder farmers in impoverished countries to biotechnology breakthroughs. It discusses the difficulty of universal food security and encouragesresearch toward more sustainable/traditional farming and food systems that help represent local, regional, national and nutritional needs.

Track 8: Agricultural Risk Management

Agricultural Risk Management (ARM) is a sophisticated approach to increase the flexibility of vulnerable rural people while also leveraging financing and investment. Risk management enables farmers and businesses to be more active while also improving their ability to identify plan for absorb and adjust to risks and uncertainties.

• Agriculture entomology
• Production and Price Risks
• Determinants of Crop Failure
• Natural hazards

Track 9: Crop Residue Management

Crop waste management entails keeping 60 percent of the soil surface covered during planting to maintain water quality. Crop residue management also enhances infiltration, aeration and tilth while protecting the soil from wind and rain erosion. It also adds organic material to the soil preserves soil moisture and enhances infiltration, aeration and tilth. Reduced soil erosion, sedimentation and pollution from dissolved sediment associated chemicals might all be advantages. Crop waste, such as wheat straw and maize stalks may be used to make cellulosic ethanol, which might help the transportation industry reach advanced biofuel aspirations and decarbonization ambitions.

Track 10: Agriculture Machinery

Agricultural equipment is a term that refers to the mechanical structures and equipment that are utilised in farming and other forms of agriculture. Hand tools and power tools, as well as tractors and the myriad sorts of farm implements that they tow or control, are all examples of such equipment. Both organic and nonorganic farming require a wide range of equipment. Agricultural technology has become an integral aspect of how the world gets fed, especially with the introduction of automated agriculture.

• Technical Transformation in Agriculture
• Farm machinery
• Farm power units

Track 11: Irrigation And Water Management

Agricultural irrigation water management is the activity of monitoring and controlling the quantity, volume, and control of water delivery based on seasonal crop needs while taking into account soil input and water holding capacity.  To achieve optimal yields, soil moisture should be controlled to avoid extensive percolation (soil physics) losses or runoff. A key factor in the effectiveness of an irrigation system is management. Irrigation necessitates vast amounts of water and in many cases substantial labour inputs. Only if water is used efficiently will the irrigator see a return on his or her irrigation instrument investments.

• Water reservoirs
• Soil-plant-water balance
• Irrigation scheduling
• Irrigation technology

Track 12: Agriculture Current Trends and Future

Food security is intimately linked to agricultural growth. It also serves as a catalyst for general financial growth in many underdeveloped countries. The agricultural sector's prosperity has not been fairly distributed among areas and countries. The world's population is predicted to reach 9 to 10 billion people by 2050.The majority of development is predicted to take place in poor nations, where the income elasticity of food demand is still strong. By 2050 the rising population along with relatively strong wage growth might result in a demand for food and other agricultural goods that is more than 70% higher.
