“Three dedicated research papers on the impact of environment and climate change on food security will be tabled at the conference,” he added.
The conference will be held from March 15 to 19 in two shifts, from 11am to 1:30pm and 5pm to 8pm.
Speakers from El Salvador, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Kenya, Iran and Kazakhstan will share their experiences and expertise during the first day of the conference.
On Thursday, research papers from Qatar’s Ministry of Municipality, Ministry of Environment and Climate Change and companies working in the agricultural sector, among others, will be tabled.
While some research papers will focus on the contribution of local plants to ensure food security in Qatar, others will be on assessing food production in Qatar through energy, food and water approaches and sustainable landscaping.
The International Horticultural Expo 2023 Doha will also have a dedicated booth at the DECC, which will explain in detail and give a preview of what to expect at the mega event in October this year.
