The 1st International Agrobiodiversity Congress held in New Delhi, India, from 6-9 November, 2016 was attended by over 900 participants from 60 countries.
CRISPR/Cas9: A powerful tool for crop genome editing (April 2016)
The CRISPR/Cas9 technology is evolved from a type II bacterial immune system and represents a new generation of targeted genome editing technology that can be applied to nearly all organisms. Site-specific modification is achieved by a single guide RNA (usually about 20 nucleotides) that is complementary to a target gene or locus and is anchored by a protospacer-adjacent motif.
“Imperatives of Global Climate Change for Agricultural Research in Asia-Pacific” – Strategy Paper by Dr. R.S. Paroda, Executive Secretary, APAARI and Chairman, TAAS
The major challenges in the twenty-first century are the rapid increase in the world population, the degradation of agricultural land and other natural resources and above all the emission of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that contribute to climate change.
“Intensive Efforts Needed for Food and Nutrition Security” – Chairman, Trust for Advancement of Agricultural Sciences (TAAS) and Former Director General, ICAR and Secretary, DARE
After Green Revolution, we thought that we had achieved self-sufficiency and solved our problem of food security. Somehow, the things have changed and there are many challenges and concerns that require our immediate attention.
Tsukuba Declaration on Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change
The last few years have witnessed a wide range of concerns on climate change and the challenges associated with it, particularly as highlighted in IPCC reports. Several thematic conferences, symposium, workshops have been organized globally and the topic well‐discussed.
“Strategy for increasing productivity growth rate in Agriculture”
To attain a sustained growth rate of 8% during XIth Five Year Plan, India must accelerate the pace of agricultural growth from the current around 1% to at least 4%. Hence, a Mission Program for Accelerating Productivity Growth Rate in Agriculture is called for as a matter of priority. It would, therefore, need a dynamic approach oriented towards focussed strategy which is well planned, coordinated and monitored. Business as usual will not work. Concerted efforts would be required for meeting the targets that are achievable but were not so well addressed in the past in a holistic manner.
Outputs from the FAO International Symposium on Agricultural Biotechnologies (18 July 2016)
The FAO international symposium on “The role of agricultural biotechnologies in sustainable food systems and nutrition” took place from 15 to 17 February 2016 at FAO headquarters, Rome. Its objective was to explore the application of biotechnologies for the benefit of family farmers in developing sustainable food systems and improving nutrition in the context of unprecedented challenges, including climate change.
