Carbon sink is the buzzword that’s taking the world by storm, and for good reason. As the effects of climate change become more apparent, people are looking for innovative ways to combat rising carbon emissions.
One study estimates that if all deforested and degraded areas were restored globally, they could sequester up to 5.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year by 2050. With its ability to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and provide numerous environmental benefits, carbon sink technology is a game-changer.
How do you think carbon sink technology can be effectively implemented to combat climate change and how can we encourage a greater adoption of these solutions on a global scale?
On Monday, 8th May 2023, you will be inspired by a diverse lineup of esteemed speakers who will shed light on the latest advancements in innovative technology for mitigating climate change. We want you to be part of the solution! Join us now!

How do agriculture professionals define agricultural literacy? What does it mean to be agriculturally literate?
During the past few years, the agri-food system has come under strong criticism. As a result, perceptions of the public have been challenged dramatically by books, calling attention to the lack of public understanding of the decisions we make when producing food.
Based on the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) , they have also raised many long-term agricultural literacy issues related to the management in food production, resources, and sustainability. In the meanwhile, how do we tap on the diverse Islamic market and shed lights on Halal Literacy?
Join us on Friday, 2nd December 2022, to listen to our prestigious speakers in fostering a discussion to promote a common vision for literacy by identifying and defining approaches to agricultural literacy.

International Association of Agricultural Sustainability (IAAS) serves as an international platform for academicians, researchers, industry players and policy makers in the fields of agri-technology, sustainability, food technology, innovation, management and economics to communicate and interact for the advancement of research, instruction, trade promotion and policy development.
IAAS has built global partnerships across research institutes, established and start-up private enterprises in the past years to drive agri-food and agri-tech innovation. Our guest speakers from the related industry and institutions will deliver their thoughts and insights of the innovative solutions.
Everything we do– from our conferences to annual meetings– is driven by our goal:
How can we spark conversations and spread powerful ideas to change lives and, ultimately, the world?
Innovation in agriculture cuts
across all dimensions
of the production cycle
along the entire value chain.
Farmers rely on technology
to make their operations
as efficient, productive and
profitable as possible.
Sustainable agriculture is
intended to protect the
environment, expand the
Earth’s natural resources base.
Investing where it matters
to farmers and the
natural environment.
