then Mysore State. The visionary leaders of the nationrealized the importance of modern science and technologyand higher education as means to shore up the woefullyinadequate food production in the country. In less than adecade of the establishment of UAS-B and a few other SAUsin the country, India recorded a phenomenal jump in foodproduction and the English language acquired a new phrase Green Revolution. It is a matter of great pride for UAS-B tohave played out its role in ushering in a quantum leap infood production in the state through a slew of technologicalinterventions in the 1970s and 80s. The unboundedenthusiasm of the faculty and scientists left no stoneunturned and no crop untouched – from the traditionalcereal-pulse-oilseed cropping system to viticulture, everycrop got its due attention on innovations in productiontechnology. Several other allied sectors like horticulture,sericulture, forestry, animal husbandry also witnessedtransformational changes turning Karnataka into a modelstate for agriculture, horticulture, and dairy industry.About ConferenceAll India Agricultural Students Association (AIASA), NewDelhi and Indian Council of Agricultural Research andUniversity of Agricultural Sciences-Bangalore withpleasures invite all the young researchers, researchscholars, policy makers, academician, and youth farmersacross the globe to the International Conference on“Advances in Agriculture and Food System TowardsSustainable Development Goals” (AAFS-2022) during 2224 th August 2022. The Conference includes keynotepresentations, oral talks, poster presentation andexhibitions and it will be organized in hybrid mode. Foodsecurity is often explained in terms of food availability, foodaccess and food utilization. Agriculture plays afundamental role in people’s ability to improve their diets,supplying food for consumption and providing income thatcan be used to purchase nutritious food. Improvedagriculture and food systems will emphasizediversification, encompassing nutrient-dense; climateresilient; economically viable; and locally available oradaptable species. Selecting crops that are traditionallygrown by women can also create synergies with objectivesto empower women. Integrated farming systems are a mixof crop production, animal and fish raising, speciallyadapted to local conditions that can greatly contribute todiversifying diets. Nutrition-sensitive agriculture whichpromotes integrated farming systems can improve thesupply of a greater diversity of plant and animal-basedfoods and help to ensure people have year-round accessto nutritious diets.About AIASAAIASA is an organization represented by professionals ofpresent-day and ex-students of Agriculture, VeterinaryScience, Dairy, Horticulture, Fisheries, Forestry, HomeScience, Sericulture, ABM and other allied sectors.
