Track 1: Agricultural Production Systems & Agribusiness 

Agriculture focuses on the topic agribusiness. Agribusiness is the business of agricultural production. It includes agrichemicals, breeding, crop circulation, farm machinery, processing, and seed accumulation, as well as marketing and retail sales. All agents of the food and fiber value chain and those institutions that influence it are part of the agribusiness system.

Within the agriculture industry, "agribusiness" is used easily as a valise of agriculture and business, attributing to the range of activities and disciplines encompassed by novel food production. There are academic degrees in and departments of agribusiness, agribusiness trade associations, agribusiness publications, and so forth, worldwide.

Track 2: Soil Science

Agriculture focusses on soil which provides ecosystem necessary for plants and animal life. Soil acts as a base medium provide habitat, water, and nutrition to living organisms. The soil is used as a holding and interacting facility for nutrients, microorganisms, plants, and water. The soil is responsible for Agroecosystems and Eco-agriculture which indirectly help in food security. Soil purifies groundwater, provides nutrients, help in the growth of plants and regulate the Earth's temperature. Industrial, household and non-point source pollution negatively influence soil environment and finally the whole ecosystem. In recent decades, scientists have developed new practices which limit the mobility of contaminants which reduce pollution. Agriculture webinar gives a chance to researchers and scientist to explore the latest and modern developments in the field of Soil Sciences and its related technology.

Track 3: Plant Science

Agriculture focusses on the subject Plant Science. Plant cells are immobile, encased in a fixed cell wall. Unlike animal cells, migration and programmed cell death play less role in the patterning of plant cells fates, nor can they move when their environment changes. If the supply of food is less or if there is a predator, animals can move, fight or fly. But plants cannot. They have to adapt constantly to their environment and their development is highly plastic. Development of the animal is mostly embryonic. The shape of the body is defined during embryogenesis and the adult derive from the enlargement of the embryo. In contrast, in plants, most of the development takes place post-embryonically and never ceases. In fact, because plants can't escape from their physical locations, they adapt and "escape" through development. When there is a lack of nutrients or energy, the plant develops its root system to explore the ground or its aerial system to get some light. Under attack from a pathogen or herbivore, the plant is able to synthesize signaling molecules to change its development and defend  itself.

Track 4: Agriculture Engineering 

Agricultural Engineering is leading to create a new revolution in sustainable agriculture which is totally eco-friendly. By the middle of the 20th era, Agricultural Engineering derives into four types of activity like Power and machinery, Irrigation and drainage, Farm constructions and environment, Processing and electrification. Most Agricultural Engineering is aware of organic engineering, well-organized use of irrigation water, renewable energy, and environmental issues. Agricultural Engineering is fronting three great encounters: Food safety and Food security, protecting the species and natural resources and decreased employment status.

Track 5: Agricultural Biotechnology

Agriculture focusses on Agricultural Biotechnology is the combination of scientific tools and techniques including genetic engineering, molecular markers, molecular diagnostics, vaccines, and tissue culture to modify agricultural productivity, quality, diversity and species protection. Agricultural Biotechnology is developed to cope up with current challenges which are usually cannot be solved by traditional practices. Agricultural Biotechnology also helps in climate adaptation, stress management, and disease management. Biotechnology has introduced modern technologies to deal with the global food crisis. Agriculture webinar provides an opportunity to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of Agricultural Biotechnology.

Track 6: Food Marketing

Food marketing  brings together the food producer and the consumer through a chain of marketing activities. The marketing of even a single food product can be a complicated process involving many producers and companies. For example, fifty-six companies are involved in making one can of chicken noodle soup. These businesses include not only chicken and vegetable processors but also the companies that transport the ingredients and those who print labels and manufacture cans. The food marketing system is the largest direct and indirect nongovernment employer in the United States.

Track 7: Food Science & Technology

Food the most needed element in one’s life to be alive. The stuff we get from plants, animals, glucose, milk, vegetables, proteins so on is just the food we intake. The technology is the science which aids in the preparations of the food with all the stuff we get. The technology even aids in the preservation and storage processes. Modern food technology has emerged in such a way that has decreased the human work pressure. The modulations in the genomics of the food, applications of the nanotechnology for a greater production have been some valuable food technologies.

Track 8: Food & Nutrients

Agriculture focusses on the subject Food & Nutrients. Although many people think that food and nutrition mean the same thing, they don’t. Food refers to the plants and animals we consume. These foods contain the energy and nutrients our bodies need to maintain life and support growth and health. Nutrition, in contrast, is a science. Specifically, it is the science that studies food and how food nourishes our bodies and influences our health. It identifies the processes by which we consume, digest, metabolize, and store the nutrients in foods, and how these nutrients affect our bodies.

Track 9: Robotics in Food Science and Agriculture

Agricultural and food robots or Agbot is a robot deployed for agricultural purposes. The main area of application of robots in agriculture today is at the harvesting stage. Emerging applications of robots or drones in agriculture include weed control, cloud seeding, planting seeds, harvesting, environmental monitoring and soil analysis

Track 10: Agronomy and Crop Science

Agronomy is the Science of production and utilization of plants for multidisciplinary use along with soil, crop and water management. Agronomy related to work in the areas of plant genetics, plant physiology, Agrometeorology, and soil science. Agronomy is the application of combined sciences like biology, chemistry, economics, ecology, earth science, and genetics. Agronomy is now an important research field for scientists to study the behavior of plant in different environmental conditions including climate, soil type and irrigation, fertilization etc. 

Track 11: Greenhouse & Horticulture

A Greenhouse is a shape with walls and roof made largely of transparent material, such as glass, in which plants requiring managed climatic conditions are grown. These structures range in size from small sheds to industrial-sized buildings. A miniature greenhouse is known as a cold frame. The interior part of a greenhouse exposed towards the sunlight becomes extremely warmer than external temperature. The primary crops grown in greenhouses include pepper, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, herbs, and strawberry. 

Track 12: Fertilizer and Pesticide

Agriculture conference focusses on fertilizer which is any material of natural or synthetic origin that is applied to soils or to plants tissues to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants. Fertilizers enhance the growth of plants. This goal is met in two ways, the traditional one being additives that provide nutrients. The second mode by which some fertilizers act is to enhance the effectiveness of the soil by modifying its water retention and aeration.

Track 13: Agroforestry & Landscaping

Agriculture focusses on Utilization & Potential Utilization - Agroforestry is an intensive study on a land management system that  benefits biological interactions between forest trees or shrubs and agricultural crops and/or livestock. Agroforestry helps to conserve species diversity and protect natural resources, reduce pollution, control soil erosion, and enhance wildlife biodiversity.

Track 14: Food Nanotechnology  

Food Nanotechnology is a branch of nanotechnology concerned with the application of nanotechnology to food or food packaging so as to extend the life or safety of food, to detect harmful bacteria, or to produce stronger flavors. Nanotechnology has begun to find potential uses around functional food by engineering biological molecules toward functions various from those they have in nature, opening a whole new area of development. When nanotechnology or its application or Nanomachine is used during production, cultivation, processing or packaging of food then the food is called as Nanofood. It does not mean that atomically modified food or food made by Nanomachines.

Track 15: Medicinal Food

The foods that are formulated and intended for a diet management of a disease that has unique nutritional needs that cannot be met by a normal diet chart are considered as medical food. The food which has an ability to cure the disease or control the cause of a disease is known as medicinal food. Tulsi, turmeric, rosemary, ginger, manuka honey are considered to be the top medicinal food curing and controlling the chronic diseases from time.
