SUMMARY:India Agribusiness Education Awards 2020
DESCRIPTION:India’s agriculture has now evolved into a multi-tiered\, multi player\, global enterprise with an array of\nstakeholders perfectly lined up in a value chain to deliver products on a massive scale. Present day\nagricultural enterprise stretches beyond the farm to encompass many entities that operate at different\nlinks in the production\, logistics\, processing\, trade and distribution chain of food and agri-products. The\nlarge scale\, wide diversity and range of stakeholders in the value chain makes agribusiness among the\nlargest business sectors globally. Recent estimates place the size of the global agriculture at US$ 5 trillion.\nFor India\, it is a matter of livelihood for masses and economic development of the country. India needs the\nsupport of agribusiness professionals educated in the nuances of agriculture trade and practices to\npower the growth of farm sector. In view of economic liberalization and coming in of WTO\, it is\nimportant to generate globally competitive human resource which would help in achieving higher\nproductivity and production through generation and transfer of technologies as well as processing and\nvalue addition\, food safety and quality\, information technology\, etc. This has necessitated the\ndevelopment of human resource which would have skills and expertise to handle the agri marketing\,\ndistribution\, products\, technologies but also the trade and export of agricultural produce.\nImproving quality of agribusiness education holds the key to propelling not only creating better job\nprospects and entrepreneurship but also the growth of the industry as well as the agriculture sector as a\nwhole. The attempts made by India in improving agribusiness education have been the result of\nconcerted efforts of many individuals\, institutions and policy makers. As a result over 50 ABM colleges\nunder SAUs\, 15 plus national level institutes and almost equal number private sector universities are today\noffering globally competitive courses in agribusiness. Some of them like IIM Ahmedabad\, IIM Lucknow\,\nIRMA\, MANAGE\, IIPM\, IIFM\, NIAM etc. have made their mark at the national and international level too.\nSuch role models need to be admired and recognized. \nAgriculture Today Group as the media and policy catalyst has always been on the forefront in providing\ninformation\, inuencing policies\, creating business networks and recognizing performers. The institution\nof India Agribusiness Education Awards is a small step in this direction\, through which we will make an\neffort to rank and award agribusiness education institutes\, based on their quality of education\,\nplacement quality and other relevant parameters with the help of our very eminent jury members. \nObjectives \n\nBringing on one platform agribusiness education institutions and industry leaders to deliberate upon\nthe agribusiness challenges and possible solutions\nTo discuss the emerging trends and opportunities in the national and global agribusiness industry and\nhow to orient the management education to best cater to the needs of the industry\nFacilitating mutual learning by bringing key stakeholders of the academia coming together and\nsharing their success stories\nTo promote and strengthen agribusiness education ecosystem for greater industry coordination and\ninternational exposure for best models and practices so as facilitate faster growth of India’s\nagribusiness sector\nTo felicitate and honour the top performing agribusiness institutes and colleges on various parameters\nso as to encourage them put in their best in terms of churning out to notch agribusiness professionals\n\nFor Nomination: http://www.agriculturetoday.in/iaea/nomi_form.php \n

SUMMARY:Conference on Climate Change & Agriculture: Impacts\, Resilience & Adaptations for Sustainable Food Security
DESCRIPTION:The world’s climate is rapidly changing due to global warming and will continue to be severe in the coming decades and centuries ahead\, and will pose major challenge for future agricultural scenarios to provide food and other bio-resources for the projected global 9 billion people by 2050. \nThe climate change will trigger variety of problems related to agriculture\, and will affect all four dimensions of food security: food availability\, food accessibility\, food utilization and food systems stability. Further\, will impact human health\, livelihood assets\, food production and distribution channels\, as well as changing purchasing power and market flows. Its impacts will be both short term\, resulting from more frequent and more intense extreme weather events\, and long term\, caused by changing temperatures and precipitation patterns. Food systems will also be affected through possible internal and international migration\, resource- based conflicts and civil unrest triggered by climate change and its impacts. At the same time\, it is necessary to strengthen the resilience of rural people and to help them cope with this additional threat to food security. Particularly in the agriculture sector\, climate change adaptation can go hand-in-hand with mitigation and organic farming. The conference aims at knowledge exchange on the interrelationship between climate change and food security and ways to deal with the new threats. \nTo disseminate the impacts of climate change\, relieving strategic technologies for creating sustainable agriculture and food security a two days national conference is planned by the IDC Foundation in December 2019 at India international Centre\, New Delhi. The conference sessions will include Innovative lead presentation\, summary of case studies as per sessions and full length presentations followed by publications etc. \n

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
