What's Happening?
The Keladi Shivappa Nayaka University of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences in Shivamogga is set to host a five-day workshop focused on 'Empowering Early Career Researchers in Advancing Climate-Resilient
Agriculture Research and Collaboration'. Scheduled to begin on January 5, the event is supported by the International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF-British Council) and the Indian Council of Social Science Research, in collaboration with the Natural Resource Institute of the University of Greenwich, UK. The workshop will feature 45 participants from India and the UK, who will engage in discussions on climate-resilient agricultural innovations, carbon farming, agrometeorology, and sustainable technologies. Prof. R.C. Jagadeesha, Vice-Chancellor of the university, emphasized the workshop's role in providing a transformative platform for young researchers to exchange knowledge and develop impactful solutions for climate-smart agriculture.
Why It's Important?
This workshop is significant as it addresses the pressing need for climate-resilient agricultural practices, which are crucial in the face of global climate change. By bringing together early career researchers from India and the UK, the event fosters international collaboration and knowledge exchange, which can lead to innovative solutions in agriculture. The focus on sustainable technologies and carbon farming is particularly relevant as these areas hold potential for reducing agriculture's carbon footprint and enhancing food security. The outcomes of this workshop could influence agricultural policies and practices, benefiting farmers and communities by promoting sustainable and resilient farming methods.
