Global agriculture has witnessed a complete metamorphosis in recent decades with the intrusion of technologies and global participation. Agriculture remains the second-largest source of employment worldwide after the services sector. The global value-added generated by agriculture, forestry, and fishing grew by 68 percent in real terms between 2000 and 2020, reaching USD 4.7 trillion in 2020. Asia has emerged as a significant player. Asia was the main contributor to global agriculture showing an increase of 77 percent, from USD 1.2 trillion in 2000 to USD 2.9 trillion in 2020. The countries with the largest agriculture, forestry, and fishing sector in terms of value-added were China, India, and the United States of America. Global food production will continue to rise so as to cater to the burgeoning world population. In the backdrop of the world population expected to reach 10 billion by 2050, food supplies need to increase by 60 percent.
The planet is witnessing rapid change in climate in recent years. There are extremes of rains and temperature and change in weather and seasons. As a result, global food security is facing big challenge. Named after the great Indian scientist, Prof. MS Swaminathan, who played pioneering role in saving India from food starvation during late sixties through Green Revolution, this annual session will bring the global experts to deliberate upon the climate change and food security challenge, and draw up a road map to help the Governments, especially in developing and under developed countries to make policies and programs to deal with the challenge.
40,000 plus Agri-clinic and Agri-business Centres, created by the Ministry of Agriculture through MANAGE as Nodal agency, are playing a big role in bringing about a transformational change in the agricultural landscape of the country through delivery of products and services to farmers and establishing agribusiness projects at the village and district levels. ICFA is hosting their 2nd National Level Convention and invites you to be part of this exciting event.
The creation of Farmer Producer Organisations addresses the long felt gap of having credible and competent institutions at the village and block levels to provide forward and backward linkages to farmers, partner with the industry and institutions to deliver products and services and leverage upon the power of aggregation to help farmers do better agriculture and realise better price of their produce. India has by now created 4000 plus FPOs against a target of 10,000, announced by the Hon’ble Prime Minister. Realising the participation all major stakehodler at the AgroWorld 2025, ICFA seizes the oportunity to organise India FPOs Summit 2025 to facilitate market linkages and partnerships among the FPOs, industry and institutions for synergies and mutual profits.
