Indian Society of Vegetable Science is organizing Worldwide Convention on Vegetable Analysis & Improvements for Vitamin, Entrepreneurship, and Setting from December 14-16, 2021 to carry worldwide communities collectively to debate current advances and prospects of greens.
Dr. T. Okay. Behera, Director of ICAR-Indian Institute of Vegetable Analysis, (Varanasi) welcomed Chief Patron Dr. T Mohapatra, Secretary (DARE) & DG (ICAR), New Delhi, and Patron Dr. AK Singh, DDG (Horticultural Science). He then gave a welcome message to the delegates and began the convention.
Main Targets of Convention:
-
Present a platform for researchers and developmental companions to trade improvements for sustainable vegetable production, availability, affordability, and consumption.
-
Foster particular person and institutional linkages and produce out convention proceedings outlining environmentally sustainable vegetable manufacturing and worth chain.
Themes of Convention:
Within the technical session of every theme, there’ll be 2-3 invited shows by acknowledged specialists. Varied themes of this convention are as follows:
1. Untapped Vegetable Variety and Enchancment:
Characterizing and enhancing indigenous greens for nutraceuticals, genetic enhancements of vegetable crops utilizing genomic and post-genomic instruments together with CRISPR-Cas based mostly genome enhancing, De novo domestication, gene bank-scale genomics, multi-omics, and climate-smart traits for environmentally sustainable intensification, biofortification and varieties with novel traits.
2. Manufacturing system and Local weather-Good Agriculture:
Built-in vegetable manufacturing methods, greens in agroforestry and homestead state in rural, peri-urban, and concrete landscapes, vertical farming, mechanization, and automation in vegetable manufacturing, vegetable for local weather change adaptation (crop diversification) and mitigation, carbon credit and water productiveness, precision farming and choice assist system.
3. Plant Well being Administration:
Coverage and laws for safer vegetable manufacturing, analysis on environmental air pollution together with heavy metals and residual toxicity, pest forecasting, pest detection, diagnostics & administration, ecological engineering, digital pest maps, pesticide residue, biosafety, and biosecurity, and creating bio-intensive pest administration modules.
4. Wholesome Meals and Food regimen diversification with greens:
Drivers of meals decisions within the context of main crops, exploitation of underutilized greens, greens for susceptible communities throughout pure disasters, pregnant girls, and diets in class and hospital feeding packages, Nutri and kitchen backyard.
5. Greens Submit-Harvest and Worth Chain:
Rules and/or security wants for processing and worth addition, on-farm packaging and post-harvest operations, manufacturing of vegetable-based ready-to-eat snacks (pasta, noodles, macroni), advertising of nutrient-rich and well being safer merchandise, use of vegetable meals waste, context-specific analysis on vegetable provide chains, startups, FPOS, ODOPete.
6. Entrepreneurship and Training:
Public-Non-public Partnerships for growing farm productiveness and earnings, crop calendars, and manufacturing planning, scaled and scalable applied sciences, contract natural vegetable manufacturing, vegetable seed methods, seed trade and employment, inclusive vegetable science academic methods for empowering a brand new era of vibrant important plenty and leaderships.
