Scientists highlighted the current challenges faced by the agriculture sector which are having adverse effects on food security. They highlighted the problem of food security as a global challenge, by stating that in 2030 a huge gap is expected between food demand and supply. They also suggested real-world solutions to problems faced by scientists and farmers and emphasized that crop sustainability must be given top priority. They emphasized the dire need for some natural systems by which we can protect our environment by cleaning our natural resources like air, water, and soil as well as by taking care of wildlife. The guest speakers and participants appreciated the organizing team and appreciated the dynamic leadership of Prof. Dr. Robina Farooq, Vice-Chancellor, GCWUF for providing a platform to share new ideas, research, and methods adopted in agriculture and plant sciences. They hoped for more such events in the future and maximum participation from various sectors. The conference ended on opening new vistas of research for students at the university.
