MARDI and FFTC’s August Workshop to tackle healthy soil-plant interactions
The Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI) and FFTC are jointly organizing an online workshop on August 22 that will highlight the synergistic interactions between soil and plants and how they contribute to agriculture resilience. Entitled “Role of Healthy Soil-Plant Interactions towards Achieving Resilient Agriculture in the Asian and Pacific Region,” the said workshop prioritizes one of the five themes of FFTC’s Strategic Action Plan for 2021-2024 on promoting climate-smart agriculture and green technologies. The semi-hybrid workshop, which will be part of the 15th ESAFS International Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, also aims to foster advanced technologies through research and development which could help strengthen resilience to natural disaster and support agro-diversity in Asian and Pacific agriculture.
