About

Climate change poses a major threat to agriculture, with increased frequency and intensity of drought, flood, and salt intrusion. Climate-smart agriculture practices have the ability to transform agriculture by enhancing production and farm income. This conference aims to bridge the gap between scientific advancements and real-world applications by fostering collaboration among researchers, policymakers, extension specialists, and farmers. The main theme of the conference focuses on the technologies for sustainable rice production under abiotic stress, including varietal development and other management practices, as well as the strategies for enhancing the adoption and dissemination of best practices to farmers. The conference will serve as a platform for researchers to explore the latest developments in abiotic stress tolerance studies in Rice and strengthen climate resilience in rice farming systems.
