INTRODUCTION

The advent of emerging fields of precision biotechnology such as genome editing is recognised as one of the breakthroughs in science and technology having significant potential with a wide array of applications in agriculture, healthcare, bioindustry and service sectors. It is perceived as a revolution throughout the world and expected to have a far-reaching application which reshape every aspect of mankind and society in time to come.

The convergence of various molecular advancements, genome projects and bioinformatic tools coupled with digital technologies as well as the ability to deal with large, complex biological datasets, will significantly enhance the knowledge and product innovation from the evolving technologies in a remarkable way. Indeed, the technological advances derived from the precision agri-biotechnology should be embraced in order to have a profound impact on sustainable agriculture.

With the theme ‘Navigating the Present, Shaping the Future’, the forthcoming conference is envisaged to provide a distinctive platform to the participants from various research and academic institutions, industries and agencies that are relevant to biotechnology to deliberate and share their novel approaches and practical challenges as well as the solutions that have been pooled from different fields of precision agri-biotechnology. It will also enhance the global networking among them and help in creating a nucleus of interface research.
