6th Global Knowledge Millennium Summit - Bio nano: The global war on hunger
New Delhi, India - Acknowledging the vast potential of the Bio-Nano technology and realizing the opportunities that lie ahead, ASSOCHAM is organizing 6th Global Knowledge Millennium Summit “Bio-Nano:The War on Hunger” as a forum for discussing and providing technological solutions for a hunger free world.
Agriculture is facing its worst ever challenge in the production of all major grains to sustain the continuously increasing world’s population. Constraints on production are further amplified by the reduction in arable land and management of available water resources. Some of the agriculture produce are being diverted for unconventional uses thereby creating further crisis. The country like India loses more than Rs 58,000 worth of agricultural food items every year due to improper storage facilities. These current crises place a great predicament on the Governments all over the Globe to ensure food for their people. Biotechnology and Nanotechnology are the new frontiers, which can be used to resolve these crises by increasing agricultural productivity and offering solutions for other food related problems as well as help the ever growing food processing industries. Acknowledging the vast potential of the Bio-Nano technology and realizing the opportunities that lie ahead, ASSOCHAM is celebrating the 6th Global Knowledge Millennium Summit 'Bio-Nano:The Global War on Hunger'. Indian Farmers as a forum for discussing and providing technological solutions for a hunger free world.
