The Nepal Food Forum 2025 continues its ambition of advancing the Science and Innovation Forum as a thrusting force to transform Nepal’s agri-food systems. Expanding on the progress of the earlier edition, the SIF forum will convene scientists, researchers, innovators, agri-entrepreneurs, farmers, and policymakers to delve into contemporary cutting-edge research, emerging innovation, and problem-solving technologies that have proven their significance in tackling global pressing issues of food security, nutrition, sustainability, and resilience against climate shocks. The methodical sessions during SIF will encourage quality knowledge exchange, practical demonstrations of solutions, and advocate broader cross-sector collaboration. Illustrations of emerging tools like AI-powered farming systems, extension services, robotics for precision agriculture, blockchain for value chain transparency, and digital platforms for farmer-consumer linkages during SIF will exemplify how the future of farming systems is evolving dynamically.
Through various displays of innovative ecosystems, the SIF theme will underscore the critical need to merge modern scientific approaches with traditional farming practices for better productivity and optimize resource management. From early-stage concepts to field-tested solutions, the forum will bring participants together in interactive discussions, practical demonstrations, and strategic dialogues aimed at accelerating the scale-up of impactful innovations. The forum will provide a platform for grassroots innovators, global leading researchers, and experts to share and learn diverse perspectives on climate-smart precision agriculture, automated data collection, analytics, and traceability in the food system. The science and innovation theme encompasses an array of inspiring solutions, future-oriented innovative business models, and catalyzing changes that can foster positive and transformative changes in Nepal’s agri-food system.
