SUMMARY:4th Global Agriculture Summit and Awards 2019
DESCRIPTION:Even after decreased contribution to GDP\, agriculture still continues as a major livelihood provider around the globe\, especially in the developing world; and hence responsible for economic growth and social transformation. Mammoth work has been done in agriculture in the recent years on the part of the industry\, NGOs\, CGIAR bodies and institutions\, supported by the Government and international organisations to transform the agriculture and allied sectors. The most significant development in the last one decade has been the emergence of large number of start-ups in food and agriculture\, across the value chain spectrum\, completing the chain from farm to fork. In India\, the Government schemes like ACABC\, Startup India\, Standup India\, Skilled India and launch of MUDRA Bank and such other initiatives have accelerated the value creation and entrepreneurship activities in the farm sector and connected the same to the markets and the consumers through innovative agribusiness models. \nConnecting farmers effectively with trade\,markets and value added activity holds the key to their prosperity.

Indian Council of Food and Agriculture takes the opportunity to discuss the constraints and opportunities for a global momentum towards making agriculture high-tech\,market linked and value added for best returns to farmers and to all stake-holders across the food value chain.This may require collective efforts\,taking on board the Governments\, inter-governmental organisations\, trans-national corporations\, industry\, NGOs\, FOs\, financial and technology institutions for increased flow of knowledge\, technologies\, investments and market access. The national governments need to create enabling policy environment for effectively translating the potential of agriculture through agribusiness\, and thus empowering farmers.Towards this end\,ICFA is bringing together eminent personalities of Indian and global agriculture\, food and agribusiness sectors on one platform on the event of 4th Global Agriculture Summit 2019.This spectacle will be combined with the presentation of 4th Global Leadership Awards and the launch of Agriculture Year Book 2019. \nImportant individuals and institutions\, who played pivotal role in building new faiths and ambitions in agriculture will be acknowledged by the Global Agriculture Awards 2019.

SUMMARY:“Millet and what else? The wider context of the adoption of millet cultivation in Europe”\, Germany
DESCRIPTION:Within the Collaborative Research Centre 1266 at Kiel University\, the ‘Millet Dating Programme’ (2017-2019) produced direct radiocarbon dates on over a hundred grains of broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) from archaeological sites across Europe. The results demonstrate that millet cultivation began during the Middle and Late Bronze Age\, at slightly different times in different parts of Europe (Filipović et al. in prep.) and earliest in Ukraine (Dal Corso et al. in prep.). Building upon the now available solid chronological basis\, we want to explore how the (beginning of) full cultivation of millet across Europe correlates with changes and new tendencies in economy and lifestyle recognised from the archaeological record. Moving beyond the When?\, we want to investigate the How? and Why? of the integration of millet into Bronze Age agrarian systems. \nThis workshop will present and discuss: \n\nAspects of subsistence economy in different regions of Europe in the Middle-Late Bronze Age\, and the changes in it that took place when millet became one of the staple crops.\nEthnographic and experimental insights into millet cropping systems\, from sowing to consumption\, including aspects such as the required time/labour and yield-improvement measures.\nNew scientific methods that track the spread\, cultivation or consumption of millet\, and their integration with conventional approaches.\n\n  \nVenue : Wissenschaftszentrum Kiel\, Germany
