The opening started with Prof. Ayman Diab's speech detailing all possible innovative biotechnological methods for food production and solving the global food and feed crises. The symposium continued with a series of interesting sessions highlighting the sustainable biotechnological approaches in addressing climate change and food shortages which lead to food crises. Other sessions discussed important topics such as the challenges of food scarcity and possible bioinformatics tools to overcome nutritional deficiencies while others tackled the applications of nanotechnology in fertilization, pest control, and crop breeding nationally and internationally.
The symposium has also succeeded in covering several topics including Single cell protein, Cellular Agriculture, CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, Aquaculture Innovation, Biofortification, Synthetic Biology, Precision Agriculture and Biotechnological promising solutions.
