Preface International Seminar on Agriculture, Biodiversity, Food Security, And Health (ABFSH) 2020

Abstract

Agricultural Faculty of Pattimura University organized International Seminar on Agriculture, Biodiversity, Food Security, And Health (ABFSH) 2020 on 10 December 2020 in Ambon, Maluku, Indonesia. The theme of our international seminar is: “Sustainable Natural Resources And Food Production Development During Covid 19 Pandemi”. The main objective of this agricultural seminar is not only to generate information on the availability of food and raw materials, but also to grow healthy and well-nourished people. One of the important tasks besides ensuring the availability of sufficient and healthy food for the world's population in a sustainable manner so that all people can lead healthy and productive lives, which is more important in this era of COVID-19. With the world's population increasing in the future, the link between agriculture, biodiversity, food security and sustainability to support health and well-being needs to be addressed. Writing scientific articles is a very important activity for a professional educator. This activity is not only necessary in order to obtain credit points for promotion or for certification purposes through portfolios, but with this international activity it has become a forum for building partnerships with outside partners, both main speakers and fellow lecturers and researchers from various other institutions and universities in Indonesia. The international seminar was attended by 95 speakers from various institutions, Pattimura University - Ambon, and also other universities in Indonesia. This seminar can be held thanks to the help of various parties. For this reason, on this occasion allow us on behalf of the 2020 International Agricultural Seminar Committee to thank the Pattimura University Chancellor and his staff, the Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture and his staff, as well as various other parties who have participated to assist in the implementation of the seminar which we cannot mention one by one. We also convey our highest appreciation to all the committees who have worked hard for the success of this seminar. Last but not the least, we are thankful to IOP EES for producing the proceeding.
