The 7th International Conference on Agriculture for Food Security & Nutrition, known as Agri Vision-2025, is being orchestrated by the Society for Agricultural Research and Management (SARM). This significant global agricultural forum will take place from January 17-19, 2025, at the Odisha University of Agriculture & Technology (OUAT) in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. The core committee of SARM, alongside the Organizing Committee of Agri Vision-2025, extends a warm invitation to all stakeholders to participate actively in this crucial congress.

The central theme of the Agri Vision-2025 Conference is “Recent Trends in Smart and Sustainable Agriculture for Food and Nutritional Security.” The sessions will delve into sustainable agricultural practices aimed at safeguarding the environment, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing soil health and fertility, and conserving Earth's natural resources for future generations to ensure food security and nutritional adequacy. This three-day event will feature Plenary Sessions, Technical Sessions (Oral Presentations), Poster Presentations, Farmers’ Interaction Programs, Exhibitions/Expos, Awards, Cultural Programs, and much more.

The development of sustainable food systems is intricately tied to the continued sustainability of human civilization. As the global population grows at an unprecedented rate, the need for sustainable agricultural practices that can meet future food demands has never been more urgent. Sustainable agriculture offers a viable pathway to feed a burgeoning population within the constraints of a changing environmental landscape. Climate change, a pressing global concern, is directly affecting food security and the global economy. Consequently, the creation of sustainable food systems rooted in sustainable agriculture is paramount to mitigating the impacts of climate change. Empowering farmers to adopt climate-smart agricultural practices is crucial in this endeavor.

The sessions at Agri Vision-2025 will explore various sustainable strategies to combat climate change and the adoption of new technologies and methodologies that enhance agricultural productivity while empowering farmers through agri-entrepreneurship. Discussions will focus on increasing agricultural income using modern tools and technologies and educating farmers to build a self-sustaining society. Agri Vision will encompass all aspects of agriculture, including Plant Science, Agriculture & Horticulture, Animal Science & Dairy, Fisheries & Aquaculture, Agri-Business, Renewable Energy from Agricultural Waste, Agri Economy, and Policies. Climate-Resilient Agriculture, a key focus of the conference, involves sustainable practices that boost food production, mitigate risks, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By embracing climate-resilient agriculture, farmers can ensure national food security in the face of extreme weather and climate change.

Agri Vision-2025 will address the key sectors of agriculture, discussing the challenges of modern agricultural systems and exploring solutions through omics technologies and innovative tools, paving the way for smarter agriculture. The conference invites proposals from all stakeholders in the agricultural industry and academia, offering an ideal platform to discuss new innovations and strategies that will enhance farmers' livelihoods and promote agri-entrepreneurship. This International Agriculture Conference provides a unique opportunity to network with global experts in the agricultural sector, fostering collaborative research and exploring new business opportunities.

Building on the success of previous editions, including Agri Vision-2018 in Puri, Agri Vision-2020 and Agri Vision-2021 at ILS Bhubaneswar, Agri Vision-2022 at Ravenshaw University in Cuttack, Agri Vision-2023 at Centurion University in Bhubaneswar, and Agri Vision-2024 at ICAR-NRRI in Cuttack, Agri Vision-2025 is poised to continue this legacy of excellence.
