Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FKCCI) will organise a seminar on “Sustainable Scientific Farming”. The subject was selected keeping in view the changing dimension in agriculture, which is moving from just production related issues to trade related issues. Government of Karnataka has also requested the FKCCI to focus on improving farmers’ livelihood by de-risking the production as well as market related issues, at the same time bringing sustainability.

Topics of the seminar include:

  • Farming systems and methods to boost income and bring sustainability
  • Technological intervention and future technologies that ease operations, bring sustainability and prosperity
  • Post harvest technologies to reduce wastage, improve quality, enhance shelf life and more hygienic conditions
  • Value addition and food processing
  • De-risking agriculture

The seminar will be held on February 25, 2016 at Jnana Jyothi Auditorium, Central College, Bengaluru. Besides the seminar, FKCCI will also organise an exhibition depicting new technological developments in the field of agriculture.
