Abstract


The 4th International Agronomy Congress was inaugurated by M. S. Swaminathan (World Food Laureate). The Congress took note of the fact that today’s agriculture is challenged by climate change, land degradation, loss of biodiversity, food and energy crisis, and population explosion. To liberate the developing world, especially South Asia and Africa, from the twin scourge of hunger and poverty, we need strategies for and greater investments in natural resource management (NRM) innovation-led, accelerated and sustainable agricultural growth, with emphasis on resource-poor smallholder farmers.
