Uttara Agriculturists Unite For Food Security

DHAKA: Agronomists and agricultural scientists residing in Uttara have pledged to work collaboratively toward deploying modern agricultural technologies and biological innovations to guarantee national food security. The commitment was voiced during a networking symposium titled "Good Morning and Breakfast Meet" organized by the Uttara Agriculturists Association at a local restaurant in Sector 3, Uttara, on Friday, September 11, 2026. The assembly, held from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM, brought together nearly 300 agricultural scientists and professionals.

The convention was presided over by Agriculturist Md. Masum, President of Uttara Agriculturists Association and proprietor of Supreme Seed, and moderated by former Additional Secretary Dr. Abul Hossain, General Secretary of the association. Special felicitations and floral tributes were accorded to Independence Award-winning agricultural scientist and former Director General of the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) Dr. Mohammad Abdul Baquee; Chairman (Secretary rank) of the Barind Multipurpose Development Authority (BMDA) Hasan Jafri Tuhin; and President of the Agriculturists Association of Bangladesh (AAB) and Finance Director of Micro Fibre Group Kamruzzaman Kayser.

Engaging in strategic discussions, scientific experts focused on critical agricultural engineering challenges and sustainable food systems. The technical discourse prioritized scaling smart irrigation networks to minimize groundwater extraction, expanding climate-resilient stress-tolerant crop varieties, and reinforcing quality control across hybrid and foundation seed production lines. The experts reaffirmed that collaborative integration across agricultural research institutions, academia, and private agro-industries is vital to modernizing agronomic output and insulating the country against external supply shocks.
