International organizations Centre for Agricultural Bioscience International (CABI), International Tropical Fruits Network (TFNet), and Bioversity International collaborate on a booth for the Malaysia Agriculture, Horticulture, and Agrotourism (MAHA) International show on 23 November to 2 December 2012 at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park, Serdang.
With the theme “International Partnerships in the Promotion of Healthy Crop Landscapes,” the booth highlights the organizations’ obligation to broadly reduce food insecurity and improve the quality of life. This is attained by reducing risk and increasing sustainability in crop production and trade.
Risk can be mitigated by using the optimal mix of crop, fertilizer, and water, using resilient crop types and practices, improving the knowledge and market access, and control of invasive species. Meanwhile, maintaining high quality with less inputs, biodiversity protection, ecosystem management, and women involvement can help in sustainability efforts.
“We are happy to be participating in MAHA International,” says TFNet CEO Yacob Ahmad. “This provides TFNet, CABI and Biodiversity International an avenue to display what we can offer the regions of the world,” he adds.
The 10-day exhibition will also host events such as thematic shows at the state pavilions, business seminars and workshops, conference on technology transfer, product presentations, agriculture technologies and innovations, competitions, agro bazaar, field demonstrations, agro-tourism activities, cultural performances, pet shows, and wellness programmes.
