BACKGROUND:
During the last few decades, the country has made remarkable progress in food and agricultural production particularly cereals by adopting different agricultural technologies. Despite such an achievement, India lags behind on the front of nutrition security. Although, the nutritional security has direct impact on health of the society but it was largely neglected in our country. Further, in recent past the ill effects of chemical driven intensive farming is reflecting from the fact of steadily depletion and deterioration of natural resources which ultimately affect the quality of the food.

In contemporary world, nutritional security becomes more important than food security. The agricultural scientific fraternity is facing the challenge of securing the food security along with nutritional security of the ever increasing population worldwide. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop ecologically naïve, economically viable agricultural technologies. It could be possible by smartly integration of natural resources and available advance crop production techniques viz. use of robotics, nano-technological and biotechnological tools, food processing and fortification as well as appropriate use of marketing intelligence.

This virtual seminar is planned to highlight the important issue of achieving the food and nutritional security in our country and it also serve as digital platform to disseminate the current technologies as well as discuss future prospects and strategies to mitigate the problem of food and nutritional security.(For more details view brochure)
