The conference series organized by Hisar Schools in honor of its 25th anniversary will take place online on March 23 at 18:00 under the title "Thinking Big in Agriculture"

Changing global conditions and post-pandemic developments have brought concepts such as agriculture, famine and agricultural productivity to the agenda of countries more frequently in recent months. Reports prepared by scientists point out that if steps are not taken to reduce carbon emissions by 2050, this will affect the yield of food products by one third and food prices will rise. Currently, food prices are close to the highest level of the last 10 years due to disruptions in the supply chain and extreme weather conditions during the pandemic.  

Hisar Schools continues to celebrate its 25th Anniversary with a series of conferences to contribute to the knowledge of young people and society about the future, and continues to host valuable experts on current developments in science, technology and innovation. In addition to students, alumni and their families, the third of the conference series, which will be open to all educators and the community with its "Open Source" approach, will take place under the title "Thinking Big in Agriculture".
