The second edition of the Sustainable Agriculture and Innovative Food Systems (SAIF) conference aims to address the urgent global challenges posed by climate change, population growth, and environmental degradation. With the world population projected to exceed 9 billion by 2050, pressure on agricultural systems will intensify, requiring sustainable solutions that balance increased food production with ecosystem preservation.
Conventional farming methods, characterized by high chemical inputs and monoculture, have led to soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and water scarcity. In response, sustainable agriculture practices, including agroecology, organic farming, and regenerative methods, are critical. These approaches prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and climate resilience while reducing reliance on synthetic inputs.
The SAIF conference will bring together experts, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners from various disciplines to explore solutions that promote environmental sustainability, social equity, and economic viability in agriculture. Topics will include food security, climate-adaptive farming, biodiversity conservation, technological innovations, and policy frameworks. This gathering fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange, with the goal of inspiring transformative action for a resilient and equitable global food system.
