research is financed and published, with moves to make open access publishing compulsory. This change carries

profound potential implications for an institution‟s research grading, reputation, and rankings. This presents a leadership

challenge: to ensure that research is financed, managed, and published within your institution in a way that enables you to

meet the new criteria for research funding and the assessment of research quality. This will inevitably lead to considerable

changes to a range of staff roles and functions, as well as funding flows and departmental budgets. Rising to this

challenge is critical to safeguarding the future of your researchers and your institution‟s academic standing.

the National Research University – Higher School of Economics (HSE) and the New Economic School (NES). The context

is that over the past decades, the world has seen a large-scale movement towards the establishment of new universities

and renovation of old ones through mergers, acquisitions or radical reorganisation and innovative reform. Processes to

establish “new universities” differ in various countries, with particular specifics determined by the economic, political and

cultural settings. However, it is hardly doubtful that these universities have always been – and currently are – established

in response to the existing needs for economic, technological and cultural change. The conference will explore how these

needs are defined and expressed today? What are the overall expectations related to the newly established universities,

and how are their missions and purposes currently described? What approaches and instruments should be applied to

measure the performance of those universities? A host of eminent participants (see 2nd link).

How do I use your search feature? You can always start your search with a single word. Example: education will find all articles containing the word "education." You may want to narrow your search by using a series of words. The search will look for documents containing all of the terms you've specified, just as if you included the word "or" between each of your keywords. Example: food safety will find all articles containing the words "food" or "safety."

If you want to search for a series of words where all words need to be included, use "and" between your words. Example: "food" AND "safety" will find all articles where the word "food" and "safety" are used in the article. If you want to search for a specific phrase, use quotes. Example: "food safety" will find all articles where the word "food" is followed directly by "safety." To exclude a keyword from a document you are searching for,

include the "-" (minus) before the keyword. Example: "food" AND "safety" - "dairy" will find all articles containing the word "food" AND "safety" but only if they don't also contain the word "dairy."

Back to top

2. How do I get better search results? Too many results: Be specific with your search terms. If your search returns too many articles, refine your search by adding additional keywords or by choosing less common keywords. You can also search within a variety of date ranges using the Advanced Search. If you are searching for a recent document, you can try selecting a date range within 30 days as your range. Click Advanced Search to expand your options. From here, you can specify a Custom Date Range. ClickAdvanced to bring up even more options. Now you can narrow your search with the Category andAuthor fields. The more selections you make, the more precise your search results will be. Once you've performed an advanced search, you can then also refine your search by updating your keyword(s). Not enough results: To get more results, select different or more common search words or a broader date range.

Back to top

3. How do I search for a specific date? Enter dates in the format: "MM/DD/YYYY" for both the Start and End Dates. This will return all articles published within that date range.

harmony with the environment."

IDF recently participated with 6 other international organizations in the launch of the Global Dairy Agenda for Action; a declaration of the

industry's commitment to making positive contributions to global action in addressing climate change. The declaration also includes the Green

Paper, a compilation of 299 international initiatives where dairy industry stakeholders from over 40 countries have addressed environmental

practices and impacts.

The Global Dairy Agenda for Action on Climate Change is a statement of commitment by the dairy supply chain to take action to address climate

change. The dairy supply chain is committed to providing consumers with the nutritious dairy products they want, in a way that is economically

viable, environmentally sound and socially responsible. This includes reducing emissions of greenhouse gases such as methane, nitrous oxide

and carbon dioxide that are associated with the production of a unit of dairy product and which contribute to climate change.

The dairy supply chain recognized the need to work together in order to address this significant challenge. Climate change initiatives have

already been launched around the world, but the signatories and participants of the Agenda for Action identified the need to pool knowledge

and resources to achieve the changes in technology and practice needed to further reduce emissions.

The World Dairy Situation

The World Dairy Situation is being regularly documented by the IDF and last year it was published as Bulletin Number 438/2009. Milk production

during 2009 reached a level of 580 million tons (cows) and 89 (buffaloes). This showed an increase of 24 and 48% during the last decade. The

strongest gain was noticed in Asia, particularly in India.

The growth rate in China retarded due to weaker demands followed by melamine scandal. In the US the low cost of production and historically

lower farm milk prices caused retardation in milk production. The European Union showed in increase in milk production as a response to the

rising milk prices.

In South America milk production increased by 1.8% during 2008, exceeding self sufficiency and sparing it for export. In Australia and New

Zealand the weather condition seemed to have more influence than other regions and milk out put increased up to June, 2009.

Buffalo milk

Buffalo milk increased at a double rate as compared to cow's during last decade at global level. 90% of buffalo milk is produced in India and

Pakistan, the remaining coming from China, Egypt and Italy. 53% of the world milk produced is chanellalized to formal marketing and processing

channels. In the North America, EU-15 and Japan this ratio reached 100% while in Russia, India, Pakistan and South America this ratio is

considerably low and the milk is handled by "informal sector".

Pakistan's standing

Pakistan has been ranked 2nd in buffalo milk production and 3rd in total global milk production. Although the livestock sector contributes 55%

to the agriculture added and 11.3% to the gross domestic products in the country, the role of the sector on export and production of certified

products for human consumption inland is negligible. During the recent years the government has placed the sector on National Development

Agenda and Livestock Development Policy has been implemented focused at private sector led livestock development, with the enabling

environment provided by the government. Livestock and Dairy Development Board (LDDB) and Pakistan Dairy Development Company (PDDC)

have been established in addition to other developmental organizations, to spearhead the development efforts. These two programs have been

actively focusing on small and medium dairy farmers. National livestock production comprises US$ 22.5 b of milk and US$ 6.0 b meat,

contributed by cattle, buffalo, sheep and goats valuing US$ 73 billion. Our province contributes 14% of these assets.

The organizers

Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science:

The faculty is supporting the livestock sector through teaching, research and outreach services. DVM program has been in place since 2004,

covering animal production and health disciplines through a curriculum approved by the PVMC/HEC. MSc (Hons) and PhD programs are offered

in Livestock Management, Animal Nutrition and Poultry Science. A 6-months DVM internship is conducted with the cooperation of sister

organizations and industry. Applied research is focused on field problems and livestock/poultry farmers are served through outreach services,

the feed mills and the dairy processing unit.

Livestock & Dairy Dev (Extension):

The Directorate of L&DD undertakes to accomplish various assigned tasks in discharge of its responsibility towards the development of livestock

sector for the benefits of the public in general and the farming community in particular, in order to raise their income and living standard.

Breeding improvement directorate and Animal Husbandry In-service Training Institute are working for their specialized mandates.

Directorate General L&DD (Research) comprises Veterinary Research Institute:

and regional centers, engaged in control of poultry and livestock diseases of economic and zoonotic importance, enhancement of livestock

productivity, poverty alleviation, women development and improvement in human diet and assistance to the universities in academic research.

The Livestock Research and Development Directorate is focusing its efforts on livestock production and fodders research.

Livestock Trainers and Consultants:

LTC is a non-governmental organization dedicated to provide quality services to the farming community without discrimination & regardless of

race, religion, creed or political affiliations. LTC got registred under society act 1860. It is joining hands with the national and international

sponsoring organizations to seek monetary funds to benefit all its stakeholders in the country.

The Workshop

The workshop has been organized to analyze the current situation in the country and propose means for research and development intervention

in the dairy sector through coordinated efforts of academia, government departments, development agencies and private sector organizations.

The initiative for holding this workshop was supported by National Vocational and Technical Education Commission (NAVTEC) of Pakistan and

Agri-Science Park@ICRISAT, Hyderabad India (Mr Abdur Rahman Ilyas, Chief Operating Officer). The Global Dairy Health Limited has shown their

interest in contributing to development of a model.

In the meantime the country and especially the Khyber Pukhtunkhwa Province were badly affected by the flood. The livestock holdings suffered

the most, withdrawing the livelihood support from the people. Rehabilitation process is going to commence soon, supported by various donors.

The workshop will provide a vehicle for the rehabilitation process, providing guidelines for erecting the hub of dairy enterprises in an

environment friendly way providing livelihood support to the flood affected people. We intend to develop a business incentives package with

the help of provincial government and KPCCI for the farmers and graduates to develop the dairy related business and utilize the available

resources productively. International investment will be explored through KPCCI and the foreign missions.

Paper submission

Abstract will be published in the proceedings book and selected papers will be published in Pak Vet J or Sarhad J Agric after review and payment

of fees.

Abstract Submission: 5 November, 2011

Full paper submission: 10 November, 2011

Invitation

The organizing committee invites all interested academicians, civil society representatives, potential business partners and representatives of

the provincial and federal government to participate in the workshop focused at converting the existing dairy resources to viable commercial

enterprises and promote establishment of new enterprises through a network of all stakeholders to be called the Dairy Science Park. Invitation

Conference Background

Taking a systems approach to agricultural development throughout the

world, IFSA holds a global conference every two years so members can

share research results and outreach methods. Most regional associations

hold their meetings on alternate years so members can attend the global

conference wherever it is held. Recent IFSA conferences have been held

in Chile (2000), South Africa (1998), Sri Lanka (1996) and France (1994).

In 2002, the global IFSA conference returns to the United States where it was founded to focus on

small farm issues and opportunities. In 1982, Kansas State University hosted a farming systems

conference that turned into the first of six annual conferences. Later, the University of Arkansas

hosted three annual conferences during which the predecessor organization (Association for Farming

Systems Research-Extension, AFSRE) was initiated. Michigan State University hosted three more

annual conferences prior to the decision to hold the global conference every other year.

Who Should Attend?

IFSA, the International Farming Systems Association, is a global organization made

up of regional farming systems associations and loosely affiliated individuals. IFSA

participants include farming systems practitioners associated with universities,

government agencies, and non-governmental organizations interested in

agricultural development around the world. While early work began with a field

and small farm focus, IFSA has increasingly been concerned about sustainable

agriculture, policy and ecosystem issues on a watershed or larger scale.

MEAT TECH ASIA (MEAT & LIVESTOCK TECHNOLOGY)


Investment Opportunities in Meat Sector of Pakistan

Setting up large breeding farms Large farms (buffalo, important local breeds with high demand, crossbred animals and exotic cattle breeds) can serve as primary

source of sale of genetically superior animals for new farms, dairy colonies (which have high turn over of animals) and export.

Cattle feed mills Cattle feed industry is now emerging but it still caters for less than 5 % of the required balanced feed needs. The demand for livestock

feed of various types (dairy, fattening, bulls, etc) is definitely going to increase, thus cattle feed industry is poised to grow.

Integrated meat production and processing Demand for red meat is increasing rapidly. The only way to meet the demand of mutton and beef in the country is conversion to

feedlot fattening. Thus feedlot fattening offers good investment opportunity. Furthermore, establishment of slaughterhouses and model

butcheries with grading system and commercial cuts will add value. Moreover, there is tremendous scope and need to establish

slaughterhouse by-product plants for further profitability.

THE CONSUMPTION OF MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS IS VERY HIGH Although geographically speaking our country has an important advantage in terms of cattle, sheep and goats, poultry animals, water

produces and fisheries, the consumption of red meat and poultry is very high.

LATEST TECHNOLOGIES ARE NOT USED IN CHICKEN BREEDING FARMS Nearly 80% of the white meat such as fish and chicken, consumed in our country as an inexpensive source of protein is produced in

installations not using the latest technologies in accordance with the world latest improvements.

CONSUMPTION OF PACKAGED MEAT INCREASES The increase in demand of packaged meat and meat products is providing advantages in terms of freshness and hygiene from

production to consumption.

WATER PRODUCTS PROCESSING TECHNOLOGIES ARE BEING DEVELOPED Our water products producers are forcing the gates of Asia and therefore, need to improve their technologies to meet the demand,

especially in terms of processed products and to invest in modern processing technologies.

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which once captivated ancient travelers, continues to enthrall a whole new generation as a modern, vibrant nation. From the haunting,

primeval starkness of Wadi Rum, to the teeming centre of urban Amman; from the majestic ruins of bygone civilizations to the timeless splendor of the Dead Sea, Jordan is

unveiled as a unique destination offering breathtaking and mysterious sights, high standard accommodations, exquisite cuisine and countless activities that can provide visitors

with inspiration, motivation, and rejuvenation. Marveling at herds of gazelles and Oryx and migrating birds, camping amidst the grandeur of Wadi Rum or Dana Reserve, trekking

the ancient caravan trails from the highlands of Moab and Edom, hiking the wooded hills of biblical Gilead, or experiencing the unique, cleansing mud baths of the Dead Sea are

just a few examples of the treasures awaiting visitors to this unique kingdom. The new stream of luxury hotels emerging in Amman, Petra, Aqaba and the Dead Sea is just adding

quality to a refined product that is distinct, accessible and friendly.

National Conference of Women Scientists

Venue : Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi

March 8, 2008

Registration for the conference is over

Though India has more women scientists as compared to many of the western countries, their proportion as compared to men in active research is still not very high. Most practicing women scientists, doctors, engineers, have been fortunate to be born in families which encourage education of women, and do not discriminate against women and girls. It is also seen that though a large number of girls opt for basic sciences, medicine and engineering at the under

graduate level, few continue with science at the post graduate level or later take it up as a career. Of the few who continued and become professional engineers and doctors, most have been able to manage dual responsibilities of home and work place successfully. Despite these constraints India has produced some outstanding women scientists like Dr. Janaki Ammal, Prof. Ashima Chatterjee, Prof. Manju Sharma, Prof. Archana Sharma, Prof. Indira Nath, Prof. Anandibai Joshi, Prof. Kasturi Dutta, Prof. Sipra Guha Mukherjee and Dr. Sneh Bhargava to name a few. However, the number is not large enough, the number of women scientists in various fields of science, engineering and technology is still very few. Women scientists not only play an important role in their respective areas of expertise, but also can bring about significant social change.

To address the issues pertaining to encouraging women to take up science and provide gender enabling measures to working women scientists a Task Force for Women in Science was set up by the government in 2005.Under the aegis of the Task force a National Conference of Women Scientists is being held during March 8-10, 2008 at Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi. This National Conference of Women Scientists aims to bring about greater visibility to the achievements of women scientists working in cutting edge areas of science. The conference is proposed to be inaugurated on 8th March, 2008 which coincides with the International Women’s Day. The National Awards for women scientists of DST and DBT would also be conferred on the same day. Leading women scientists from the country are being invited to present keynote papers

Technical areas to be covered in the conference:

1. Health care & Life Sciences. Biology of Infectious diseases Recent advances in non-communicable diseases

2. Aerospace and Defense technology 3. Climate change 4. Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials 5. Plant Biotechnology

The main objectives of this conference would be:

1. To showcase successful case studies of women scientists who excelled in scientific research. 2. To project the scientific achievements of women scientists in technology areas mentioned above. 3. Discuss the gender issues, which hinder growth of women as a scientist. 4. To create awareness regarding available government schemes for promoting science careers for women.

In this conference, leading women scientists from the country will be invited to present keynote papers, followed by parallel sessions covering the diverse areas identified wherein women scientists will present their research work. A session on policy issues pertaining to the participation of women in science and technology will also be worked out. The conference would create a platform for women scientists to interact with each other and discuss their views on role of women scientists in development of India. A session on policy issues pertaining to the participation of women in science and technology will also be taken up.

In all about 150 outstation participants and 250 local participants will be nominated to attend the conference representing Government and Private Research Institutions, Academic Institutions and Industry R & D.

Women scientists working in the themes covered in the conference may register for obtaining an invitation to the conference. Hard copies of the registration form may also be sent by post forwarded by the head of the Institute. Preference will be given to women scientists from far flung areas actively working in the technology areas selected.

Partial travel support will be provided to selected women scientist working in the technical areas identified for the conference.

DRINK TECH ASIA (BEVERAGES & DRINK TECHNOLOGY)


The issue of water - its quality, its quantity and its guaranteed availability to all people regardless of income or social status is one of

the most pressing challenges facing the world community today.

Seventy per cent of the Earth ‘s surface is covered with water and yet there is an acute water shortage. This is because 97.5 per cent of

it is salt water and almost three quarters of the freshwater is frozen in ice caps. Consequently, more than one third of the world ‘s

population that is 2.4 billion people has no access to clean water.

Indeed, the availability of clean, fresh water is one of the most pressing issues facing humanity today. Water is essential for health,

agriculture, security, power generation, transportation as well as ecosystems. Furthermore, access to water is a human right as it is the

most basic element of life.

Without safe drinking water, human beings cannot survive. Water-related diseases are among the most common causes of illness and

death, and more than three million people die every year from disease caused by unsafe water. The majority of people affected by

contaminated and unhealthy water live in developing countries.

The world now faces a critical situation regarding the sources of water. Statistical reports show that a fifth of the world ‘s population

does not have access to drinking water. Experts say that the world is going to face a severe problem regarding water in the next 20

years. Some say that the cause of the third world war could be shortage of water. This problem already prevails in some countries.

By consuming water excessively we are depriving the future generation from a resource, which is essential for life. Water pollution is

another major cause of non-availability of drinking water. In order to conserve water, we need to spread awareness about the

importance of fresh water. Once the world knows the dire situation it is in, it will try to conserve water.

The need of the time is to focus on the platforms like Drink tech Asia so that the countries of the region could join hands together and

work for the conservation of water. As water consumption is increasing twice as fast as the number of people consuming it. Drink

Tech Asia 2010 explains how to profit from this growth while improving water supply, quality, and infrastructure on a regional scale.

Rationale

The application of up-to-date rice farming practices in each country results in greater, sustainable harvest of quality rice which increases food security and improves the livelihoods of rice farmers, their families and communities.

To obtain sustainable improvement in the quality and quantity of rice harvest, the latest production technologies from research must be adopted by the farmers. Understanding the rice knowledge and adopting rice production technologies are improved through well-trained cadre of extension agronomists in all aspects of rice farming and skilled in technology transfer and communication with farmers.

The 17 – week course aims to develop a cadre of 5 extension agronomists in each CARD country capable of promoting continuous improvement in rice farming, using communication skills in technology transfer, and acquiring knowledge of up-to-date production and post-production technologies for rice farmers.

Participants

The course is designed for 5 extension agronomists in each CARD country in Africa who will be trained in the latest technologies of farm management and rice farming from “seed to market” who in turn shall apply this knowledge and skills to improve the farming practices in their country.

Scholarship

The scholarship includes airfares, airport pick-up and send off, pre-/post-travel allowance, board and lodging in IRRI and PhilRice Residence Halls, local medical insurance while in the course, stipends for miscellaneous expenses, local travel, and other training related expenses.

has done in market-oriented extension and introducing many training and extension materials which can support national extension agencies.

Each country identified issues and priority needs.

Mask-Africa: Food Security & Nutrition Summit

Summit Overview Mask-Africa is proud to announce the Food Security & Nutrition Summit 2013, the first in a series of events to discuss ways to accelerate sustainable investment and production in African agriculture to improve food & nutrition security. The summit will

http://www.biztradeshows.com/agrotech/

be organised by Mask-Africa, in association with the Uganda Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry, and Fisheries, and the National Planning Authority.

Ministers and officials, agencies, NGO’s, foundations, donors, business associations and representatives from the farming community have come together to form new initiatives. International companies are committed to investing in African agriculture to strengthen food security on the continent. The two day summit will take place in Kampala, Uganda on the 16-17 April 2013. Those present will use this event as an occasion to discuss their goals, aims, objectives and challenges and also to announce opportunities, time scales, to discuss inward investment, production and their agricultural needs.

The growth in food demand is the result of the combined effects of world population growth to over 9 billion by 2050, rising incomes and dietary changes towards higher meat intake. Meat production is particularly demanding in terms of energy, cereal and water. Today, nearly half of the world’s cereals are being used for animal feed. Each day another 200,000 people are added to the world food demand.

We must act together with scale and speed. Market-based approaches, counterbalanced with appropriate government interventions are essential to implementing viable solutions, as is collaboration among farmers, private industry, governments and civil society. The challenge is enormous but the opportunity is both substantial and achievable.

Governments in Africa understand the urgent need to develop strategies for developing their agriculture potential which, is universally forecasted to supply some 60% of the world’s feeding needs in the future. In order to drive production and alleviate poverty, they are looking to develop this ‘sleeping giant’. They also understand that to meet the needs of their own populations they must increase their food capacity to enable them to develop their agriculture sector further.

Who Should Attend? Representatives from countries within Africa and indeed our hosts Uganda will meet senior executives from local and international companies such as agri-businesses, developers, investors, manufacturers, agro-processing providers, suppliers, agrochemical manufacturers, transport companies, farmers organisations, academic organisations, donor agencies, agriculture organisations, biotechnologists, grain traders and NGO’s.

Mask Africa Food Security provides a platform and showcase opportunity to reach, meet and demonstrate to the agricultural industry professionals, key industry buyers and influencers of Africa.

Plenary Sessions The mornings of the summit offer delegate’s unparalleled insight as government ministries and key decision makers from foundations, donors, agencies, NGO’s and farmers associations announce their development plans, project information, including

new opportunities in a series of plenary sessions; delegates will be encouraged to join in the discussion with a Q&A session. Key themes include:

African Infrastructure Food Security & Nutrition Policy Government of Uganda Post-Harvest Losses Empowering the African Farmer Donor Support Towards Promotion of Food Security and Nutrition Promoting Crop Production and Food Security in the Continent of Africa Achieving Food Security in the Face of Climate Change Farming ICT Mask-Africa Food Security Aims To: Align stakeholders around a shared vision at national level and regional levels, including governments, foundations, donors, agencies, civil societies, farmers and the private sector to coordinate efforts and target investments around those priorities with global support, implementing market-based strategies for sustainable agricultural growth.

Offer all delegates maximum return on investment, an opportunity to get ahead of your competitors, a chance to utilise the summit to gain exposure worldwide, whilst Africa is at the forefront of agriculture business and investment.

One-to-One Pre-Scheduled Roundtable Meetings

The afternoon sessions of the summit are devoted to providing all delegates with unprecedented access to pre-scheduled one to one meetings with their chosen ministerial officials and key decision makers, from agencies, donors, NGO’s, foundations and farmers associations to discuss their relevant business strategies. Our team introduces delegates to the most influential officials in order for them to gain a valuable competitive advantage, facilitate interaction and dynamic discussion, collaborate and explore the development and investment opportunities across Africa.

To ensure maximum benefit is gained from these meetings, detailed profiles of all attending officials and leaders of the agricultural community, outlining their role, responsibilities and most important projects, will be issued prior to the summit. Each table host will be using the summit to determine the best partners and suppliers to work with.

Delegates can then make an informed choice of whom to meet. Participants receive an individually tailored itinerary, based on their choices.

Mask-Africa, in association with the Uganda Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry, and Fisheries, and the National Planning Authority, will be ensuring the participation of key leaders from government ministries, NGO’s, foundations, donors, agencies and farmers associations.

Mask-Africa Food Security & Nutrition Summit will include over 30 hosted roundtables.

• Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries, Uganda • Ministry of Agriculture, Democratic Republic of Congo • Ministry of Agriculture, Ethiopia • Ministry of Agriculture, Kenya • Ministry of Agriculture, Mozambique • Ministry of Agriculture, Somalia • Ministry of Agriculture, South Africa • Ministry of Agriculture, South Sudan • Ministry of Agriculture, Tanzania • Ministry of Agriculture, Zambia • Ministry of Agriculture, Zimbabwe • Ministry of East African Affairs, Uganda • Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Uganda • Ministry of Lands, Uganda • Ministry of Local Government, Uganda • Ministry of Trade, Uganda • Ministry of Water, Uganda • National Planning Authority, Uganda • Private Sector Foundation • Uganda Bureau of Statistics • Uganda Investment Authority • Uganda National Bureau of Standards • Uganda Revenue Authority

Key leaders from foundations, donors, NGO’s, agencies and farmers associations will also host roundtables.

Food Security Network In between meetings delegates can attend the Food Security Network Pavilion, a headquarters for everyone involved in the program, allowing them to interact and communicate in an informal manner. A member of our team will provide all participants with a stimulating introduction to the Food Security Social Network, how it works and the key benefits of joining.

Following the summit there will be a special evening reception where all delegates will have many networking opportunities to discuss their business strategies, face to face in a more informal atmosphere.

of our GDP. Rice is our main

harvesting crop and important staple

food for millions of Indians. But since

the area expansion under rice has

slowed down significantly and huge

variations are witnessed in both pre

and post paddy cultivation scenario, it

reaffirms the long time argument that

the current agriculture scenario needs

strong technological advancement that

can not only reduce the cost but

increase the returns in terms of

productivity, quality and reduction in

post harvesting losses.

In the post WTO scenario, it becomes

even more important for the country

like India to exploit available

resources at the maximum level and

with the use of modern and best

technologies available at the moment,

it can not only address the issue of

food security at affordable rates but at

the same time, liberalize its agri trade

in the world market

With the mission in mind, Business

Empire Exhibitions is all set to unveil

the 4th edition of international

exhibition on rice industry in the heart

of Punjab- Sahnewal, Ludhiana from

11-13th June, 2010. It will not only

explore the area of Punjab but also

http://www.businessempiregroup.in/

nearby regional markets including

Haryana, UP, J&K. The event will

demonstrate best technologies

specially used in post paddy

harvesting.

Paddy produced on the farm has to go

through series of operations including

processing, threshing, winnowing,

bagging, transportation and storage

etc. But during these activities, there

are noticable losses in crop output.

About 90% of the paddy is lost

because of old methods of drying and

milling, unscientific storage, transport

and handling. The upcoming

exhibition will focus upon proper post

harvest technology with main focus on

modern rice mill machinery, dryer

plants, Silos, colour sorter machines,

graders, and energy saving devices etc.

The event will also focus on latest

machineries used in flour and oils

mills.

SAMRA chair Prof Adré Schreuder

for the overall best paper at the

The topical keynote presentations, the wide variety of research papers, expert Q&A sessions, the introduction

of opinion pieces, and the beautiful venue at the Rosebank Crowne Plaza, all contributed to the success of the

2012 conference.

Like last year, the conference was preceded by a practical, insightful ESOMAR workshop where BrainJuicer's Juicy Evangelist Will Goodhand put

the spotlight on Measuring Emotions.

In his entertaining opening keynote address, well-known branding and advertising expert Andy Rice also provided some serious food for

thought. Examining the death of creativity, he concluded that a 'dirty dozen' all, to a greater or lesser extent, were complicit to 'assisted suicide'

of creativity, causing their own potential downfall.

Have you responded to fundamental changes?

Illuminating delegates on the extent to which technology has been consumerised, keynote speaker Andisa Ntsubane, Microsoft South Africa

Marketing and Communications director, among other things raised the question whether marketing professionals have sufficiently responded

to fundamental global and consumer changes, as well as the way people interact and engage with technology.

Likewise, Facebook national account manager Sifiso Mazibuko focused on the phenomenal rise of social media and the extent to which brands

can leverage Facebook to enhance social connections to connect with their customers in a real and authentic way.

Describing how the human mind thinks and reacts, Goodhand, in his keynote presentation, vividly illustrated the importance and financial

success of emotion-focused advertising. "Emotional advertising campaigns are more effective and more profitable than rational campaigns -

even in 'rational' categories," he pointed out.

SAMRA restructuring; awards

Various topical issues ranging from the powerful potential of stokvels, the South African political Twittersphere and gamification in market

research, to the extent to which social networkers and mobile phone users engage with brands, and search engine optimisation and the

importance of good content, were addressed in some of the other conference papers.

2012 SAMRA conference.

Concluding the official conference programme, SAMRA CEO Leonie Vorster shed light on the restructuring of SAMRA to play a broader role as

representative industry body, as well as the strategy to broaden the organisation's membership base and improve stakeholder value.

The awards event was one of the highlights of the two-day conference. The gold award for the overall best paper went to Kyle Findlay for his

informative paper titled Gamification in Market Research. Along with co-author Paul Oosterveld, he also took joint-silver for his paper titled

Mapping the South African Political Twittersphere.

Marilu Smit also took home two awards: as the best first time speaker and joint-silver for overall best paper for Optimising advertising ROI on

Print - The contribution of eye tracking now and into the future.

Likewise Kambe Mwaba notched up two awards: the 'Bright Young Minds' award (for researchers under 25) and bronze for the overall best

paper for Making the Small Screen Part of the Big Picture: Understanding how South African Internet and Mobile Phone Users Interact with

Brands Online.

Zinzile Ntoyiwa's presentation titled Stokvels - A Hidden Economy: Unpacking the potential of South African traditional saving schemes, earned

her the People's Choice award.

Besides Mwaba, Findlay, Smit and Ntoyiwa who received awards, Ruane Bester, Mathilda Eloff, Kathryn Kure and Tessa Nowosenetz were also

commended for outstanding contributions.

According to conference chair Kim Larsen, SAMRA is "encouraged by the interest shown in the conference by young researchers, both as

presenters and as delegates, as this bodes well for the future of the research industry."

Blаck Sea Grain

Conference - is a

large forum for

participants of Black

Sea grain and

oilseeds markets.

Aim of the

Conference:

The grain and oil

crops market

volatility will likely

investors.

The global food

security is influenced

considerably both by

grain

production/climate

and by the agrarian

and export policies

followed by the

national

governments.

Arbitrary use of

export restraints and

bans promote lower

confidence of the

system as a

guarantee of food

security.

Poor weather in the

Black Sea region

could be combined

with droughts in

other parts of the

world similar to 2012

situation aggravating

the supply deficit in

the world markets.

Though Black Sea

region was hit by

drought 2 times

(2010 and 2012) for

the last 4 years and

local government

took restrictive

measures, its total

grain exports do not

decline below 22-25

Ml t playing

considerable role in

the ensuring the

global food security

and preventing the

food prices from

even broader

volatility.

Ukrainian grain

export contributed

greatly in the

calming the

unpredictable world

food commodity

markets.

The Black Sea

Conference will

address the

following hot

topics:

Black Sea region:

Summary of the

2012/13 grain and

oil crops season. The

2013 grain and oil

crops production

forecast (Ukraine,

Russia, Kazakhstan).

The years of

2012-2014: Weather

market? Political

Market? Key factors

of growing grain

production in the

Black Sea region

Adjustment of

crop structure and

crop rotation under

pressure of climate

change and margin

drivers

Flip flop grain

export from the

Black Sea region.

How to feed the

world?

New strategies for

crushing industry

under conditions of

sunflower/soy supply

deficit against the

crushing capacities

Currency wars and

broadening

investments in the

farming sector – are

they new

fundamentals for the

global food

commodities

market?

Asian demand –

key factor

determining trends

of agriculture sector

development

Black Sea

agriculture after

decades of under

investments:

returns, risk

management,

challenges. Growing

market capitalization

of Ukrainian large

scale farms

Land lease vs.

Land ownership. The

latest news from

Ukraine.

How adequate is

Black Sea grain

market logistics

against the

challenge of 60-80

Ml t grain export?

History: The Black

Rice races against rising temperatures

By S.V. Krishna Jagadish, scientist (plant physiology), IRRI

1315-1415 H, Thursday, 28 June 2012, Havener Auditorium, IRRI

Abstract:

Research on high temperature in rice over the past decade has focused primarily on the flowering stage, with little or no

progress in research on the vegetative and other key developmental stages such as panicle initiation and gametogenesis.

Research on rice response to short durations of exposure to intense heat at precise developmental stages continues to provide

important knowledge. However, we understand little about aspects related to longer durations of stress and rice's ability to

acquire thermo-tolerance. In addition, heat stress that shortens the grain-filling period strongly affects grain yield and quality.

In this presentation, Krishna will discuss the progress of research in tackling the problems mentioned above. Specifically, he will

highlight a series of physiological and molecular studies spanning key developmental stages in rice. Economic losses associated

with high-temperature-driven milling-quality outcomes and their implications under future warming scenarios will also be

discussed.

Event

2012 IRRI Young Scientists Conference

The first IRRI Young Scientists Conference will be held on 8-9 November 2012 at IRRI Headquarters in Los Baños with the

theme, Sustaining excellence in rice research. It aims to provide young rice researchers in IRRI a platform to present their

research findings, share experiences and ideas, and discuss recent trends in science and agriculture.

The organizing committee invites all postdoctoral fellows, visiting researchers, students, and nationally recruited staff involved

in IRRI’s research to present their work.

Abstracts are expected from all disciplines pertaining to rice research. All abstracts will be reviewed by experts of the concerned

discipline. Based on the number of abstracts selected, presenters will be divided into different sessions. Each session will be

chaired by guest scientists. Submission of abstracts is from 1 July-31 August 2012.

The conference program will include oral presentations, panel discussions, and recognition rites. Top presenters will be awarded

cash prizes and certificates. Presenters will be recognized with certificates.

To attend, interested staff should register on or before 31 August, 2012. Registration is free.
