International Conference on Modern and Sustainable Agriculture (ICOMSA): Building Future Agriculture for Better World

The development of modern agriculture is inseparable from efforts to optimize agricultural land resources and increase sectoral competitiveness based on dynamic innovation following the challenges. Modern agriculture is characterized by applying technology and innovation that can be adapted to the conditions and needs of productive activities in the agricultural sector. Agricultural innovations can include technological and agricultural institutions' innovations that are in line with the times. Sustainable agriculture plays an essential role in sustaining natural resources for future generations. Sustainable agriculture emphasizes the need for the stability of natural ecosystems, including biological living systems and materials. This includes the maintenance of biological diversity, genetic resources, soil, water, and agro-climate resources, as well as environmental health and comfort. Moreover, the world is facing the challenge of global warming (the greenhouse effect). Modern and sustainable agriculture is essential for various problems in agriculture. Both are currently the focus of various stakeholders, such as farmers, researchers, and policymakers worldwide. Both are expected to become sustainable solutions to meet food and energy needs and minimize the impact of more significant environmental damage.
