In the Revival of a new era of the Powerful state, thanks to the exemplary efforts of our Hero Arkadag and Arkadagly Hero Serdar, extensive work is being carried out to develop agriculture of our country on a scientific basis and further improve the system of science and education. All necessary opportunities are being created for the sustainable development of the agricultural sector and for enhancing the knowledge and professional skills of the highly educated youth of the future. Based on these opportunities, during the “International Year of Peace and Trust,” specifically on December 17, 2025, the Turkmen Agricultural Institute held the II International Scientific and Practical Online Conference titled “The Role of Biotechnology in the Sustainable Development of the Agricultural Sector.”

The international scientific and practical online conference was attended by representatives from 88 higher educational institutions and research centers across 14 countries.
