Agriculture Food Aqua Conference 2018


Posted July 24, 2018 by agriculture2018

International Conference on Agriculture, Food and Aqua on November 22-23, 2018 in Cape Town, South Africa with a theme of “Discovering Natural Resources through Agriculture 2018”.

 
The field of agriculture and food science is vast with new discoveries and inventions turning daily and facilitates the process techniques with recently innovated instruments and to enhance and establish the methods of testing. Agriculture, food and aquaculture are a significant source of national income for the developing countries. The global market of probiotic ingredients and supplements may reach $36.7 billion in 2018. The processed food industries are also valued at over $2 trillion dollars globally and consist of over 400,000 businesses. Aquaculture market was valued at USD 156.27 billion in 2015 and is anticipated to achieve USD 209.42 billion in 2021.
Thus, the above statistics clearly justifies the need for conventions and summits in the field of agriculture, food and aquaculture. With modern agricultural techniques the market is increasing using improved seeds, chemicals and fertilizers. Also, the employment of sensors and increasing adoption of livestock face recognition is facilitating the market growth. The global food market is driven by the increasing consumer demand for processed food, focussed on food safety and safety of workers, growing need to increase productivity, increasing focus of food manufacturers to cut down manufacturing cost, and government support to push food processing sector. Production from capture fisheries has enhanced and most of the main fishing areas have reached their ultimate potential. Sustaining fish supplies from capturing fisheries will not be able to meet the growing global demand for aquatic food.
Biotechnologists have modified plants to create the desired traits by the use of various scientific tools and techniques, the method to be known as, agricultural biotechnology. Agricultural biotechnology is being employed to handle issues altogether areas of agricultural production and process. It is done to increase resistance to pests, diseases and abiotic stresses like drought and cold, increase and stabilize yields, and to enhance the nutritional content of foods. It is being used to develop low cost disease-free plants and also to increase the breeding capacity of plants.
Agriculture 2018 would construct an area for the networking between experts and aims in allocating exclusive research works on techniques related to Agriculture, Food and Aqua Science.
CPD Credits are also available for this conference.
