Abstract
The XVI Agricultural Science Congress being jointly organized by the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences_x000D_
(NAAS) and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) during 10-13 October 2023, at hotel Le Meridien,_x000D_
Kochi, is a mega event echoing the theme “Transformation of Agri-Food Systems for achieving Sustainable_x000D_
Development Goals”. ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute takes great pride in hosting the XVI ASC,_x000D_
which will be the perfect point of convergence of academicians, researchers, students, farmers, fishers, traders,_x000D_
entrepreneurs, and other stakeholders involved in agri-production systems that ensure food and nutritional security_x000D_
for a burgeoning population._x000D_
With impeding challenges like growing urbanization, increasing unemployment, growing population, increasing_x000D_
food demands, degradation of natural resources through human interference, climate change impacts and natural_x000D_
calamities, the challenges ahead for India to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out by the_x000D_
United Nations are many. The XVI ASC will provide an interface for dissemination of useful information across all_x000D_
sectors of stakeholders invested in developing India’s agri-food systems, not only to meet the SDGs, but also to_x000D_
ensure a stable structure on par with agri-food systems around the world._x000D_
It is an honour to present this Book of Abstracts which is a compilation of a total of 668 abstracts that convey the_x000D_
results of R&D programs being done in India. The abstracts have been categorized under 10 major Themes – 1._x000D_
Ensuring Food & Nutritional Security: Production, Consumption and Value addition; 2. Climate Action for Sustainable_x000D_
Agri-Food Systems; 3. Frontier Science and emerging Genetic Technologies: Genome, Breeding, Gene Editing;_x000D_
4. Livestock-based Transformation of Food Systems; 5. Horticulture-based Transformation of Food Systems; 6._x000D_
Aquaculture & Fisheries-based Transformation of Food Systems; 7. Nature-based Solutions for Sustainable AgriFood Systems; 8. Next Generation Technologies: Digital Agriculture, Precision Farming and AI-based Systems; 9._x000D_
Policies and Institutions for Transforming Agri-Food Systems; 10. International Partnership for Research, Education_x000D_
and Development._x000D_
This Book of Abstracts sets the stage for the mega event itself, which will see a flow of knowledge emanating_x000D_
from a zeal to transform and push India’s Agri-Food Systems to perform par excellence and achieve not only the_x000D_
SDGs of the UN but also to rise as a world leader in the sector. I thank and congratulate all the participants who_x000D_
have submitted abstracts for this mega event, and I also applaud the team that has strived hard to publish this_x000D_
Book of Abstracts ahead of the event. I wish all the delegates and participants a very vibrant and memorable_x000D_
time at the XVI ASC.
