fiogf49gjkf0d The State of Bavaria in Germany has evinced interest in having research collaboration with the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru (UAS-B). The two are keen to collaborate on research and development in food processing and farm mechanisation.
In this regard, a high-level Bavarian delegation, led by minister for agriculture and food processing Helmut Brunner, was here recently. Visiting UAS Bengaluru, the delegation expressed the need to share ample concepts in food processing research.
According to Dr K N Ganeshaiah, dean, post-graduate studies, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, who was the coordinator with the delegation, there were ample prospects for food processing and farm mechanisation.
Bavaria, which has made rapid strides in food processing and farm mechanisation would now look at assisting the UAS-B with novel technologies that would help simplify the processes. From here Bavaria would look at the cooperative model of agriculture with focus on farmers’ interests.
The specific areas for research collaboration, would be finalised by a team of experts representing from both the university and Bavaria.
The university has indicated to the Bavarian delegates, which comprised bureaucrats and experts in the areas of food processing and farm mechanisation, that it was keen on getting farm mechanisation models that suit specific requirements of state farmers such as small landholdings and heterogeneous cropping patterns. The proposed collaboration would also involve exchange of students and faculty.
