Professors from the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences at the University of Baghdad participated in a scientific session at the Baghdad International Conference on Water and Precision Irrigation, held at Al-Qithara Grand Hall in Babel Hotel. The session brought together researchers and experts in agriculture and water management.
The session aimed to explore ways to enhance the efficiency of water resource utilization through modern technologies and artificial intelligence. Studies were presented on the impact of conservation agriculture on soil water properties using smart measurement devices, which also reflected the effectiveness of recycled aquaculture systems in irrigating horticultural crops.
Graduate students from the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences showcased their innovative projects, focusing on successful practical applications. Discussions included the analysis of the water footprint of strategic crops to determine the most suitable for Iraq’s climatic conditions. Experts also examined the role of artificial intelligence in improving irrigation management and boosting agricultural productivity.
The session concluded with an in-depth discussion on scientific recommendations to support sustainable agriculture in Iraq. Participants engaged actively with the findings, emphasizing the importance of adopting smart technologies. The recommendations laid out a roadmap for future agricultural advancements.
This session contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Goal 2 (Zero Hunger), which promotes food security and sustainable agriculture, Goal 4 (Quality Education), and Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation).
