Newspaper Cutting Regarding "Two Days National Conference at Department of Agriculture"
Two days national conference
started at AWKUM today at Agriculture Department, Abdul Wali Khan
University Mardan. The conference is organized to highlight the importance of
biochar and its role in life on earth surface. On this eve of world soil day
A National Conference is organized organized at Department of Agriculture,
AWKUM in collaboration with international journal of Agricultural and
Environmental Research, Office of research innovation and commercialization,
and Eurasion School An International Education System. The Conference is
organized on the topic of “BIOCHAR FOR CLIMATE SAMRT AGRICULTURE”. Dr. Kawsar
Ali of Agriculture Department AWKUM is the chief organizer of the event. DrKhan
BahadarMarwat, Dr. Muhammad Arif and Dr. Muhammad Farooq Qayom were the key
note speaker. Participants from all over the country participated in the
conference. DrKHurshid Khan (Vice Chancellor AWKUM) was the chief guest of the
opening session. Faculty members, students and research officer from
different institution participated in the Confrence. While addressing the
participants, invited speaker Prof. Dr. Khan BahadarMarwat stated“ Healthy soils are fundamental to produce clean water, preserve
biodiversity, and increase resilience to the impacts of climate change, especially
for poor family farmers of developing countries. This is reflected in the
Sustainable Development Goals, and was highlighted during the recent UN Climate
Conference in Marrakech, COP 22. The cause of soils and their protection
is high on the international agenda, and calls for collaborative and
coordinated efforts”.
Chief
guest of the Conference DrKHurshid Khan Said “Say
“climate change” and see how most people react. I find it’s a bit like
“sustainable development”: a phrase at which many people quietly glaze over and
switch off. So here’s the first point: Don’t switch off. Climate change isn’t
just words. It is a real Thing. And man-made climate change is a very scary
real thing.The rise in global temperature over the last several decades is a matter
of public record. There is an overwhelming scientific consensus that it can
only be explained by one thing: the rise in greenhouse gas emissions caused by
human activities”
Invited
Speaker DrRiaz Said “ Some people say that
climate change is natural and we shouldn’t worry. The answer to that is that we
have indeed had naturally-occurring climate change since the Earth was formed.
But none of the natural causes of climate variation, from the Sun’s output, the
tilt of the Earth, volcanic activity or emissions from rotting vegetation, can
account for the warming we observe today. There is only one thing that can: the
emissions from fossil fuels caused by human activities over the last two
hundred years. The concentrations of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere have
increased by nearly 30% since the beginning of the industrial revolution.”
Moreover, Dr Zafar Hayat
Khan, Chairman Agriculture Dpt AWKUM, added “In a modern world where the
population is growing, cities are expanding, the climate is changing and more
food is needed, we urgently need healthy soils to ensure the essential services
they provide. Sustainable management systems and practices will unlock the
full potential of soils to support food production, store and supply clean
water, preserve biodiversity, sequester more carbon and increase resilience to
a changing climate” He briefed the researchers and faculty members of other
department about the research activities so for his department has conducted
for sustainable soil management. He said “Though AWKUM is newly established
institution, however, we have made all possible efforts to satisfy the need of
farmers and community in a very short spin of time”.
Dr. Kawsar Ali, who was the
chief organizer of the seminar and alsoEdiotr-ib-Chief of International Journal
of Agricultural and Environmental Research acknowledge the efforts of all
faculty members of agriculture department and official partner of IJAER, The
Eurasion school: International Education system. He praised the role of
Eurasion School Director DrSabi Ur Rahman and declared him man of vision. While
addressing the participants he said“Ladies and gentlemen, Agriculture Dpt AWKUM
organized this event to discuss sustainable food systems and
nutrition. One of the main conclusions is that healthy soils and healthy
seeds are essential for producing healthy diets. And pulses play an
important role in this equation, especially to improve the quality of soils.
This is a symbiosis for life, which is the theme of our event today”.
