Session 1: Technologies for Primary Production

This conference focus on the emerging technologies to improve productivity, quality and profitability of aquaculture and agriculture. Adoption of latest technologies will help the agriculture industry to meet the growing food demand across the world. For example, some smart antibacterial polymers and delivery systems can be used for effectively controlling viruses and pathogens in agriculture. Under harsh environmental conditions, most of the biocidal dose gets lost and this can be avoided by encapsulation of biocides using degradable polymers. Some topics within this area include: Aquaculture feeds, Disease control and yield enhancement in aquaculture produce, Novel technologies for vertical and urban farming, Digital technologies in agriculture, Polymers for Agriculture and aquaculture, Antibacterial polymer application in agriculture, Nanotechnology for agriculture and urban farming, Phenomics, Agriphotovolatics, Technologies for genetic improvement in agriculture, livestock and aquaculture, Precision agriculture, Hydrophonics and algae feedstocks, Desert agriculture and sea water farming, Artificial Intelligence and use of Drones in agriculture (soil analysis, planting, crop spraying, crops monitoring, irrigation, health assessment of plants), IOT Technology (Internet of Things) for smart agriculture, Sensors and automation technologies in agriculture, Livestock farming technology, Greenhouse technology, Synthetic biology for agriculture applications, Robotics in agriculture, and Smart farming.
