Session 1: Agricultural Waste Management

Agriculture is the largest contributor of any resource sector, to the economy of Prince Edward Island. It is also a large generator of waste materials. If wastes are not properly handled they can pollute surface and groundwater and contribute to air pollution. Agricultural wastes can be Livestock, Poultry, Farm waste etc., Agricultural Waste management can decrease the pollution produced from agricultural waste. Soil properties are important considerations in areas where soils are used as sites for the treatment and disposal of organic waste and wastewater. Selection of soils with properties that favour waste administration can help to prevent environmental damage. The separate sessions Agriculture and Horticulture Conference deals with major fields like Land Applications, pesticides and fertilizer.

Session 5: Pesticides and Fertilizers

Agricultural conference mainly focuses on Pesticides and Fertilizers which has the capability to improve the plant growth when applied in suitable amounts. When over-applied, fertilizers can increase insect and disease issues. Amendment of soil with fertilizers and pesticides strongly influences a range of soil functions and properties. They are mentioned according to whether they provide a unique nutrient (e.g., K, P, or N), in which case they are defined as "straight fertilizers." "Multi nutrient fertilizers" (or "complex fertilizers") provide two or more nutrients, for example N and P. Using pesticides decrease the amount of time required to manually vanish weeds and pests from the fields. Agriculture and Horticulture Conference provides an opportunity to explore the present strategies in the field of Pesticides and fertilizers.

Session 7: Soil & Water Management

Agriculture conference focusses on soil which provides ecosystem necessary for plants and animal life. Soil acts as a base medium provide habitat, water, and nutrition to living organisms. The soil is used as a holding and interacting facility for nutrients, microorganisms, plants and water. The soil is responsible for Agro ecosystems and Eco-agriculture which indirectly help in food security. Soil purifies groundwater, provides nutrients, help in the growth of plants and regulate the Earth's temperature. Industrial, household, and non-point source pollution negatively influence soil environment and finally the whole ecosystem. In recent decades, scientists have developed new practices which limit the mobility of contaminants which reduce pollution. Agriculture conference gives a chance to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and new research growth in the field of Soil Science.

Session 10: Rice Research

Agriculture conference focusses on the rice research. Rice is one of the most consumed cereals in the world as a food product. Rice is the seed of the grass species Oryza sativa (Asian rice) or Oryza Glauber Rima (African rice). For example a cereal grain, it is the most commonly consumed staple food for a large part of the world's human population. Since a large portion of maize crops are grown for purposes other than human consumption, rice is the most important ounce with regard to human nutrition and caloric intake, as long as more than one fifth of the calories expended worldwide by humans. Agriculture conference offers an opportunity to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and modern research growths in the field of Rice Research.

Session 11: Agricultural Economics

Agriculture Conference focuses on agricultural economics, which is a division of applied economics that habits both microeconomic and macroeconomic tools to explain harms in particular areas. The field of agricultural economics can go hind to the study of land economics. Research on agricultural economics has tackled the decline in agricultural production earnings and correspondence of farmers' costs and supply. Regarding natural resources, agricultural economists have developed quantitative tools for improving land management, preventing corrosion, managing pests, protecting biodiversity, and preventing disease in livestock. Soil ecosystem, Water scarcity and Agroforestry are the major fields covered in the sessions of Agriculture and Horticulture Conference.

Session 12: Food & Nutrients

Agriculture conference focusses on the subject Food & Nutrients. Although many people think that food and nutrition mean the same thing, they don’t. Food refers to the plants and animals we consume. These foods contain the energy and nutrients our bodies need to maintain life and support growth and health. Nutrition, in contrast, is a science. Specifically, it is the science that studies food and how food nourishes our bodies and influences our health. It identifies the processes by which we consume, digest, metabolize, and store the nutrients in foods, and how these nutrients affect our bodies. Nutrition also includes studying the aspects that influence our eating patterns, making references about the amount we should eat of each type of food, maintaining food safety, and addressing issues related to the global food supply. When compared with other scientific disciplines such as chemistry, biology, and physics, nutrition is a relative newcomer. Food policy & applied nutrition.

Introduction:

Many Japanese industries are perceived to be strong, active, and competitive in the global market, but agriculture is usually considered an exception. For years, the farm sector has sought protection from international competition, subsidies, and favorable government treatment, and it has been largely successful in getting them until now. In spite of these privileges, Japanese agriculture is in a perilous state, and most farmers oppose any movements toward free trade.

Scope and Importance:

The agricultural sector plays a strategic role in the process of national economic development. It has already contributed greatly to the economic prosperity of developed countries and its role in the economic development of the least developed countries is extremely important. An increase in agricultural output and an increase in productivity tend to make a big contribution to economic development throughout the country, and it is considered reasonable and appropriate to focus on further development of the agricultural sector. Agriculture, whether undeveloped, developing or developed, is a fundamental source of food supply in all countries of the world. Due to the sharp rise in the population of developing and developing countries and its rapid increase, food demand is rapidly increasing. In short, it can be said that the prosperity of the country depends on the prosperity of agriculture.

Research Value:

Increased research is needed on the management of the natural resources on which agriculture depends - soil, water, plants and animals. More efficient management strategies are needed for both soil and water. Research is needed to improve irrigation and to improve technologies for the protection and conservation of both soil and water. In addition, the research agenda must address issues of appropriate technologies for the conservation, maintenance and utilization of the diversity of biological resources needed on the farm.

Business Value of Agriculture in Japan:

Business Sentiment in Japan decreased to 14 in the second quarter of 2018 from 15 in the first quarter of 2018. Small Business Sentiment in Japan averaged -7.20 from 1967 until 2018, reaching an all time high of 46 in the third quarter of 1973 and a record low of -60 in the fourth quarter of 1998.

Future prospect:

Even as technology changes, agriculture adapts and could never become obsolete -even in a time when it might conceivably be vastly different from what it might have been at the dawn of agriculture. After all, we are always going to need to increase the number of crops we grow for food and for clothing, dyes and oils, seed development and engineering to manage with the growing require of the world's population, even if the picture is not as exposed as the most unchanging concerns might suggest. Today, agriculture is as much a science as an art. With a need to expose with the growing needs of the planet's population, and to find ways to keep producing food and other crops as we develop into marginal landscapes, and modify to a changing climate, changes in agriculture practices, food technology and bio technology will continue to be a huge part of human civilization.

Conclusion:

This is to show that Japanese agriculture is in a perilous state. Despite this, a small number of farms have become big producers claiming a major share of total production. If the government does not hinder their activities, agricultural productivity could rise, and Japanese agriculture can be competitive. In fact, around 60% of the farm sector is already internationally competitive. Misguided agricultural policies have been in place for years aimed at preventing the number of agricultural families from declining, and I have made a number of proposals that could improve the situation. Finally, I noted that the financial stability of many farming households depends on Japan’s overall prosperity. In short, Japan needs the TPP to ensure its own prosperity.
