He saluted the works of the officers of the various departments falling under the purview of the Ministry of Agro-Industry and Food Security, in particular the Engineering Section which had set up the numerous stalls to the satisfaction of all.
\nIt is recalled that the first edition of Les Assises de l\u2019Agriculture, kicked off on Thursday 16 March 2023, under the theme \u2018Pathways to a Sustainable Food System for a Healthier Tomorrow\u2019.
\nThe event, which was an initiative of the Ministry of Agro-Industry and Food Security in collaboration with the Economic Development Board, featured a five-day exhibition with 197 stands showcasing local agricultural products, equipment and machinery along with demonstrations of best and sustainable agricultural practices as well as production\/value addition techniques.
\nParticipants at the exhibition included, among others, agripreneurs, the Food and Agricultural Research and Extension Institute, the Agricultural Services, the Agricultural Marketing Board, financial institutions, service providers in the agricultural sector, agro-processors, cooperatives and the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited.
\nA two-day symposium was held, as well, on 16 and 17 March 2023. It enabled stakeholders to share their experiences, exchange views, and discuss various issues, proposals and actions pertaining to improving food security and reducing imports of food products.<\/p>\n
