Applications are open for the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) Photo Contest 2024. The theme, “The Future of Farming: Pathways to Carbon-Neutral Agriculture,” of the 18th Photo Contest of the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA), is timely as agriculture face many challenges.
By 2050, the world will need to produce 70 percent more food and the demand is continuously growing as the population races toward 10 billion in 2050, says a UN report. Worldwide, around 800 million people suffer from hunger. And if things won’t change, around 650 million (8%) of the world’s population will still be undernourished by 2030. In addition to these needs, the pressure to produce more is set in the backdrop of an intensifying climate change-related issues. Agriculture needs to thrive and be climate change-resilient while facing further challenges such less labor, less water, less agricultural land, lack of access to technologies, among other resources.
Therefore, this year’s theme celebrates the innovations and solutions to the many issues and problems being faced by an Asian farmer in a sustainable and environment-friendly manner.
