The International Conference on Agricultural Engineering and Green Infrastructure Solutions for Sustainable Development (AEGISD) has a relatively short but impactful history, having first launched in 2021. Since its inception, the conference has rapidly grown in scope and international reach, becoming a premier forum for researchers, practitioners, and educators in the fields of agricultural engineering and sustainable development.
The inaugural AEGISD conference in 2021 marked the beginning of an important interdisciplinary platform. From the outset, the conference aimed to bring together diverse perspectives on agricultural engineering, green infrastructure, and sustainable development solutions.
The first event successfully attracted participants from multiple countries, setting the stage for future growth.In the years following its launch, AEGISD has seen remarkable expansion. The number of participants has more than doubled since the first conference, reflecting growing interest in sustainable agricultural and environmental solutions. The conference's international character has also strengthened, with representation from over 7 countries in recent years.
A key factor in AEGISD's development has been the support of major industry partners. John Deere Company has served as the main sponsor, providing valuable resources and industry insights to complement the academic perspectives presented. This partnership between academia and industry has been crucial in fostering practical, implementable solutions to real-world challenges.The conference has maintained a strong commitment to disseminating knowledge, with four volumes of proceedings published to date. These publications serve as an important resource for researchers and practitioners in the field.Since 2024, AEGISD has placed increased emphasis on sustainable development, aligning closely with global efforts to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This shift reflects growing awareness of the critical role that agricultural engineering and green infrastructure play in addressing global sustainability challenges.
Another significant development occurred in 2024 when AEGISD adopted a hybrid format, offering both in-person and online participation options. This change, supported by John Deere, has made the conference more accessible to a global audience, further enhancing its international reach and impact.
As AEGISD approaches its fifth iteration in 2025, it continues to evolve and expand its scope. The upcoming AEGISD-V 2025 conference promises to be a landmark event, bringing together experts from a wide range of disciplines to address pressing issues in agricultural engineering, green infrastructure, and sustainable development. By fostering dialogue and collaboration across diverse fields, AEGISD-V 2025 aims to drive innovation and advance sustainable solutions to global challenges.
