2026: Agriculture, Animal Sciences, Agroforestry, and Agromaritime Innovation

Agriculture, Animal Sciences, Agroforestry, and Agromaritime Innovation highlights integrated innovations across land–sea systems that strengthen food production, ecosystem health, and community resilience in tropical regions. Tropical bioresources from crops, livestock, forests, and fisheries are deeply interconnected; improving one sector often depends on sustainable practices in others. This focus reflects the One Health perspective by linking productivity and food security with animal health, biodiversity conservation, and environmental sustainability.

It covers advances in climate-smart agriculture, precision livestock and aquaculture, agroforestry systems, and agromaritime-based innovations that optimize resource use, reduce environmental pressures, and enhance adaptive capacity. The integration of biotechnology (e.g., breeding, health management, feed and microbial innovations) with digital tools (e.g., sensors, remote sensing, decision-support systems, and traceability) supports more efficient and transparent production from upstream to downstream. By promoting sustainable intensification and circular approaches across agriculture, forestry, and marine resources, this area advances resilient tropical bioresource systems for long-term health and sustainability.
