My name is Jaber Amin, and I am currently a Ph.D. student at Cukurova University in Adana, Turkey, studying bee breeding and genetics in the Animal Science and Husbandry Department. I have a strong background in plant protection and plant pathology, holding a Master's Degree in Plant Pathology from Sudan University of Science and Technology. With expertise in applied entomology, pest control, and plant diseases, I have also worked as a teaching assistant at the University of Zalingei and Omdurman Islamic University. Fluent in Fur, Arabic, English, and Turkish, I am dedicated to expanding my knowledge in plant pathology and contributing to the field. Also, I am the Head of the Sudanese Agriculural Students in Turkiye.

Dear FAO FSN Moderator,
I am composing this letter to emphasize the innovative potential of vertical farming, a method that involves the cultivation of crops in stacked layers within controlled indoor environments. By minimizing space utilization and increasing crop yields, this approach mitigates urban food scarcity. SPREAD, a prominent Japanese company, serves as an example of success in this field by illustrating how vertical farming can foster resilience, sustainability, and inclusion in agrifood systems. I am of the opinion that the continued investigation and encouragement of these innovations can make a substantial contribution to the sustainability of agricultural practices and the security of the global food supply.
Sincerely,
Jaber Amin

Dear FAO FSN Moderator,
The foresight synthesis report "Harvesting Change: Harnessing Emerging Technologies and Innovations for Agrifood System Transformation" (FAO and CIRAD, 2023) identifies 20 innovative technologies that are on the
brink of transforming agrifood systems. It is important to note that three of these technologies have the potential to significantly enhance resilience, sustainability, and inclusion. These innovations have the potential to result in more sustainable and inclusive agrifood practices by replacing rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) with dandelion root (Cichorium intybus). I am eager to engage in a more in-depth conversation regarding the implications of these technologies and their potential influence on the future of agricultural landscapes.
Sincerely,
Jaber Amin

Dear FAO Moderator,
Here is a proposal that presents cutting-edge strategies involving biotechnology, synthetic biology, and artificial intelligence to tackle the alarming decrease in honeybee populations. These technologies provide hopeful solutions to address illnesses such as varroa mites and colony collapse disorder, ensuring the protection of
both food security and biodiversity. We strongly believe that these advancements are crucial for the long-term viability of beekeeping industries around the globe. Thank you for taking our contribution into account in this significant discussion.
Warm regards,
J. Amin

Dear FAO Moderator,
I am writing to submit my application for the initiative combating desert locust infestations. Having a strong background in plant protection technologies, I am excited to bring forth cutting-edge solutions through the use of aerial robotics. Through the utilization of drones, my goal is to completely transform the way we conduct locust surveillance and control. Working together, we can minimize the effects of these pests on global food security. Thank you for taking the time to review my application.
Best regards,
