Yemen participated in the International Conference on Intellectual Property and Innovation for Sustainable Agriculture, which was held at the headquarters of the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, with a delegation headed by Yemen's permanent representative to international organizations in Geneva, Ambassador Dr. Ali Mujawar.

The conference will discuss a number of issues related to lands and agricultural inputs (preparing the ground), cultivation and harvesting (crop production), storage, distribution and consumption from cultivation to marketing.

The conference is of exceptional importance because it is being held at a time when global agriculture is facing major challenges, such as food security in a geopolitically and demographically unstable world, rising food prices, water scarcity, high fertilizer prices and scarcity, climatic changes that are stressful for natural resources, soil deterioration, and general weakness agricultural sector suffers as a whole, especially in the developing and least developed countries, including our country.
