The Great Harp Hall at the Babylon Hotel hosted a scientific session during the Baghdad International Conference. Dr. Amira Mohammed Saleh, Dean of the College of Agricultural Engineering, led the discussion. Researchers explored ways to improve water resource efficiency and apply artificial intelligence in agriculture.
Graduate students showcased practical innovations, including water footprint analysis for Iraq’s climate. Experts highlighted AI’s role in optimizing irrigation and boosting crop diversity. Smart devices measured how agricultural soil affects water properties, while experiments tested fish-tree coexistence for horticultural irrigation. Subsurface drip systems were also examined to enhance grain crop techniques.
The session ended with talks on reducing agricultural waste in Iraq. Attendees engaged actively with the findings, stressing the need for a modern agricultural roadmap. The discussions emphasized actionable steps to address current challenges in the sector.
