5th ANNUAL AGRI-BIOTECH INDIA SUMMIT 2021
The Indian Agriculture sector is one of the largest in the world and one of the major contributors to the nation's GDP. This sector is faced with some tough challenges such as reducing land resources, increasing consumer demands for improved food quality and safety, unpredictable weather conditions, clubbed with increasing biotic stress, international competition and have caused a choking effect on the industry.
Biotechnology has been used as a strategic tool for quite some time, dating back to being used in fermentation of wine. The technological advancement in recent times in the field of biotechnology have brought to light various applications of biotechnology that can accelerate the Indian agriculture sector to greater heights.
At the 5th Annual Agri-Biotech India Summit 2021, we seek to establish a platform to facilitate a comprehensive dialogue on how biotechnology can be the key to developing sustainable agriculture, to eradicate myth with scientific evidence, Combining science with strategy.
