Agricultural Monitoring for Food Security and Sustainable Development

In the face of a growing global population and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events driven by climate change, bolstering the resilience of agricultural systems to such disasters and enhancing food production capacity are critical to realizing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal of "Zero Hunger." The rapid advancement of Earth observation and artificial intelligence technologies presents unprecedented opportunities to acquire timely crop production data, assess the impacts of natural disasters on food systems, and inform food security policy decisions. This conference seeks to convene leading experts and scholars from around the world to engage in in-depth discussions on cutting-edge technological innovations, capacity-building strategies, and the current challenges in achieving sustainable agricultural monitoring and food security. Through these exchanges, the aim is to drive the integration of Earth observation and AI technologies into agricultural monitoring practices, offering robust scientific support and actionable strategies to help Belt and Road countries meet the Zero Hunger goal.
