9th GLOBAL AGRICULTURELEADERSHIP SUMMIT

8-9 September 2016, Hotel Taj Palace, New Delhi



Food and Agriculture sector is undergoing a rapid transformation in India and globally. The role of various stake-holders in driving the growth and value added transformation of farm sector is commendable. The institution of the Agriculture Leadership Awards in 2008 was a significant step in this direction to recognize the contributions of various stake-holders in agriculture. The Awards are given annually in different categories to those individuals and organizations, who have made outstanding contributions in their respective fields. The National Awards Committee is headed by the world renowned agriculture scientist, Prof. MS Swaminathan, with twenty six persons of national eminence as its members. The Leadership Awards shall be presented on 8 Sept, 2016 in New Delhi.

ICFA jointly with Agriculture Today announces the launch of its 9th edition of the Year Book 2016 on 8th September at the Agriculture Leadership Summit in New Delhi. Agriculture Today has been an important vehicle of information dissemination for the agricultural community and the agribusiness industry for over a decade. The Year Book 2016 is an initiative to provide our readers with a creditable documentation of the year’s achievements and an in-depth profile of the emerging agricultural scenario. The Agriculture Year Book will have a wide coverage of topics related areas like global developments, policy issues, technological breakthroughs, business and market dynamics, trade and industry issues and challenges in farm and agribusiness sector, future outlook etc.

GLOBAL LEADERSHIP AwARDS 2016

AGRICULTURE YEAR BOOk 2016

Agriculture continues to be a powerful engine for livelihood security, economic growth and social transformation. India has seen in the recent years a massive grass root level movement in agriculture, catalysed by the agri entrepreneurs, NGOs, industry and institutions; and powered by the Government policies, which is bringing about transformational changes in the farming sector.

Towards global food security, the BRICS initiative on agriculture and India’s substantially enhanced engagement with Africa promises great prospects. The Millennium Development Goals aim to address the global food security on sustainable basis through encouraging and promoting environmentally safe technologies and use of natural resources. The need of the hour is the renewed focus and a boost to technology, trade and global partnerships in food and agriculture to unleash the potential of agriculture to create jobs and becomes the major driver of India and global economy, and achieve the target of doubling farm incomes by 2022.
