Welcome Remarks
Dear Esteemed Participants,
On behalf of the Agribusiness Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sebelas Maret, it is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 1st International Conference on Agriculture and Food System 2025, held under the theme “Building Resilient Agriculture and Food Systems: Strategies for Overcoming Disruptions and Ensuring Food Security.”
This conference comes at a pivotal moment. As global food systems continue to face growing threats—from climate change and pandemics to geopolitical conflicts—our collective responsibility to ensure sustainability, resilience, and equity in agriculture has never been more urgent. Through this international platform, we aim to bring together leading scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and community innovators to share cutting-edge research, practical insights, and actionable strategies.
We are honored to feature distinguished keynote speakers and a diverse array of participants from across the globe. It is our hope that this virtual gathering will spark meaningful dialogue, foster new collaborations, and inspire innovative solutions to strengthen food systems for current and future generations.
Let us embrace this opportunity to co-create a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future for global agriculture and food security.
We look forward to your active participation and insightful contributions.
Warm regards,
Dr. Fanny Widadie
