Meeting the food, nutrition, health and environmental security in global will be the serious challenges. Indian agriculture has achieved self sufficiency in food, attaining record production of food grains, milk, fruits and vegetables during the past few years, but unfortunately, the incidences of hunger and poverty in country are stubbornly high, one-fifth of our population about 2030 million is hungry and under nourished, accounting for about one- fourth of the world's food insecure people. The situation is further aggravated with the past changing climate, the shrinking land and water resources and the rising food price particularly in the cities. The fast changing dietary habits and increasing income in the urban and peri-urban areas will exert still greater demand for fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, milk, meat and eggs. In this context, optimum utilization of resources requires land use planning with which views agriculture as an integral component of the natural resources and balances the competitive and synergistic interactions among its users. In order to critically examine the current status of agriculture towards meeting the food demand, utilizing wastes and servicing the environment. For sustainability in agriculture and food security, one has to change the mind set and conceive a farming system approach, which can enhance rhizosphere and biosphere simultaneously and assure sustainable production in coming years. In order to resolve these the Samagra Vikas Welfare Society (SVWS) organizing an International Seminar on Agriculture and Food for Inclusive Growth and Development during 14-15 January, 2017. A brief activity of Samagra Vikas Welfare Society (SVWS) Samgra Vikas Welfare Society (SVWS) is a non government organization registered under the societies act 21, 1860 (Reg. No. 276-2009-2010).
