Agriculture

The domain of agricultural research and innovation aims to enhance productivity, and sustainability through advanced developments and research. 

Researchers are exploring soil chemistry which involves studying pH levels, nutrient content (such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium), and the presence of contaminants. Organic farming techniques and agroecology are also being promoted to maintain soil health, enhance biodiversity, and reduce reliance on chemical inputs.

Biotechnology advancements, such as the development of bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides, aim to reduce the environmental impact of agriculture while maintaining high productivity levels. Furthermore, sustainable livestock farming practices are being explored to improve animal welfare and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Agricultural research and innovation encompass a wide array of projects aimed at improving crop yields, developing sustainable practices, ensuring food security, and integrating advanced technologies. These efforts collectively strive to create a more productive, sustainable, and resilient agricultural sector capable of meeting the challenges of the future.
