International Symposium on
“ECO –
EFFICIENCY IN AGRICULTURE & ALLIED RESEARCH (EEAAR 17)”
Organized by
Crop and Weed Science Society (CWSS),
Bidhan Chandra KrishiViswavidyalaya
(BCKV)
AT Farmers’ Academy & Convention Centre (FACC),
BCKV, Kalyani,Nadia, West Bengal,
India
January 20-23, 2017
Background: Currently,
every 9 months we consume what the planet’s ecology can provide sustainably in
any given year (Global Footprint Network, 2011).
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimated
that we need to increase food supplies by 70% by 2050 if we are to feed a
population of 9 billion (FAO, 2009). This challenge is compounded with
constraints of available water, land, chemicals and fertilizer and projected
natural ecosystems to be converted for urbanization and industrialization.
Green Revolution of the 1960s and beyond point to significant trade-offs in
resource use, input use and energy flows resulting in liquidating resource
stocks and accumulating CO2 and other polluting agents in the
biosphere. So, the challenge is to raise yields fast enough using
methods that reduce the environmental footprint of agriculture substantially. In
terms of tropical Agriculture, India cannot be silent to these issues as we add
substantially to the world cereal production and must identify areas of eco
–efficiency in agriculture. Nitrogen and
water use efficiencies must increase by more than 50% in some of the world’s
major crop production systems; farming systems must be improved to reverse
current trends of soil degradation and net energy yields must double.
Scientists are professing eco-efficient agriculture increases
productivity while reducing environmental impacts. Eco-efficient agriculture
must meet and harmonize economic, social, and environmental needs of the rural
poor by being profitable, competitive, sustainable, and resilient and gender
compliant. Humans have always attempted to raise the efficiency of agro-ecosystems,
aiming to harvest more per unit of input, mainly water, nutrients, energy, or
agrobiodiversity. “Eco-efficiency” go with the simplistic idea of “producing
more with less.” Both high-input intensive agriculture and low-input
agriculture need to evolve based on agro-ecological principles.
We need to consider eco-efficiency beyond the farm and extend concepts to
include the whole food chain.
During the last four decades recognition of unsustainable
resource use and the increasing concerns have prompted the approaches to
optimize resource use, such as minimum tillage, precision agriculture, plant
breeding for input use efficiency (water, nitrogen), marker-assisted breeding,
and transgenic crops and animals and all other interventions that pollute less.
Ecosystem services can also be considered with desired outputs, such as
services around biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, freshwater
flows, pest management, or pollination services by means of crop, tree and
animal components and interactions. Integrated crop, livestock, and forestry
systems and allied enterprises are economically and technically feasible in
addition to producing food of higher biological value in meat, milk and fish,
cultivated pasture provides other important environmental benefits, including
long-term ground cover, carbon fixation, increases in soil organic matter
content, and reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases. Measures could
extend beyond food quantity and include measures of quality in meeting
nutritional needs.. At the farmers’ level, policy measures and market interventions that
provide incentives for development and adoption of more diverse eco-efficient
are important issues.
With
this backdrop the Crop and Weed Society (CWSS), BCKV invites relevant
contributions from the agriculture scientists, scholars, technologists, the
industry and policy planners in its call for the International Seminar on “ECO – EFFICIENCY IN
AGRICULTURE & ALLIED RESEARCH (EEAAR 17)”.Contributions are invited as extended summary for both oral and
poster presentations on the following themes related to Agriculture;
Horticulture, Ag. Engineering, Biotechnology, ITK, Economics, Fisheries, Animal
Sciences, Dairy Technology and all other allied sectors including supporting policies.
