On the 3^rd of February, 2014, the United Arab Emirates announced the institution of ?The Sheikh Zayed prize for pioneering innovations in Agriculture?. The prestigious global award will reward new advances in the field of agriculture.

The Global Forum for Innovations in Agriculture under the theme? Visions for an agricultural revolution? was graced by many eminent personalities including the UAE Minister for Environment & Water.

During this forum, over 125 exhibitors will discuss innovations in the field of Agriculture.

I would like to laud the efforts of the United Arab Emirates for opening their doors to a wide range of scientist/speakers & officials for the progress of Agriculture in a rapidly growing world.
