Tropical agriculture has been developing rapidly in order to provide food, nutrition and satisfaction for human being in the world. It also serves as main income generating sector for many smallholder farmers who predominantly live in the rural areas in tropical countries. Therefore, we do expect that the development of tropical agriculture will provide a better life for not only farmers but also people in world.
The importance role of tropical agriculture on feeding the world have attracted many scientists in Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), Indonesia to arrange an international conference as the 1st UGM International Conference of Tropical Agriculture that will be held on 25 – 26 October 2016. The theme of this first conference is Integrated and Sustainable Tropical Agriculture that deals with broader topic from agriculture, animal production, animal health, forestry, fisheries, and agricultural technology in the tropic.
