Lecturing on Seed Quality Control & Standardisation — WDF Universe for SDG2030
Mission
The 2030 Agenda comprising 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aims to end poverty and deprivation from the globe, sustain the planet's resources and preserve the climate and environment. Three billion people in developing countries — the largest producers of food for world consumption — suffer from malnutrition, climate change, drought, floods, and lack of resources.
Execution of technology-assisted skill development projects in parts of India and Ethiopia, sustained and monitored over many years, showed inspiring changes in rural behaviour and willingness of farmers to adopt new technology.
WDF Universe for SDG2030 was established with a mission to educate and train farming and other populations to increase their income using modern methods — broadcasting & communication technologies, IoT, Robotics, and UAVs — across education, agriculture, healthcare, and livelihood generation.
