Literature Review Activities in Agricultural and Food Engineering
Topic Overview:
Every scientific paper begins with the literature overview. Even the first steps with research experiments stand for proper literature research. Worldwide scientific databases contain a huge number of papers that can provide lots of useful information for the literature overview.
Task:
Trainee’s task will be to elaborate a quality literature review of the selected issue and prepare a Journal Paper of the "Overview" type for publishing. Student can select a topic in one of the following areas:
a) Precise agriculture;
b) Livestock emissions (especially ammonia in farming of poultry and pigs and methane in farming of livestock);
c) Factors influencing odor emissions in livestock;
d) Image processing;
e) AI in agriculture;
f) Robotization in agriculture.
Requirements:
Basic skills with text processors (MS Word, LaTeX...)
Outcomes:
Literature review, scientific paper…

Topic Overview:
Determination of baking quality and complexe rheological test on Mixolab II. of wheat samples. The grain samples will come from experiments in the organic farming and will be wheat grown in a mixture with legumes. The aim of verifying this method of cultivation is to determine the effect on the quality of wheat grain. Achieving high quality bakery quality wheat grain is one of the weak points of wheat production in organic farming. Student will work in laboratory and process samples. He/she will process literature review in the topic also. In the laboratory the student will determine basic baking quality tests (protein content, Zeleny test, gluten index, falling number) and process complexe rheological analysis on Mixolab II. analytical system. After will evaluated data and interpret them.
Task:
Students will analyse cereal samples in the laboratory under expert supervision (later independently also).
Requirements:
Independence, reliability, patience, accuracy.
Outcomes:
Literature review, evaluated data, report and presentation.

Topic Overview:
Social farming is innovative trend in agriculture focused on disabled or socially disadvantaged persons and their involvement into agricultural activities, as the form of therapy / education / employment. It is based on the Green care concept. The concept of social farming have different development in different countries, but basically it is possible to transfer it to other countries. The goal of visit is to describe current situation in selected countries and to evaluate transferability of European concept or it´s parts into conditions of selected countries within Latin America.
Task:
Concept of social farming will be introduced to the student, student prepare the description of activities relevant to the social farming in his country and in cooperation with expert the evaluation of transferability of European concept of social farming, or it´s parts.
Requirements:
Basic knowledge of agricultural systems, general overview about social work methods, independence, reliability.
Outcomes:
Study/publication.

Social Farming – Transferability of European Social Farming Models into Conditions of Latin America Countries
Topic Overview:
Short supply chains are tool with numerous impacts, including social and environmental impacts. They could serve as one of solutions supporting the carbon dioxide neutrality. Implementation of short supply chains into agri-food sector could be done by different ways, including the development of public catering with focus on use of local and organic products. There are different hindering forces, which affects this process in different countries. As one of the main factors, the price of organic and local products is mentioned. From current studies it is clear, that correct choice of comodities and their implementation into menu can decrease importance of this factor on minimum. The goal it to create model calculation affecting economic dimension of the implementation of organic and local product into public catering and to identify other potential factors influencing development of this sector.
Task:
Students will collect input data from public catering facility and make model calcualtion of implementation of organic/regional products under expert supervision and independently. Further, the students will participate on writing of the report, including proposal of application of model strucutre in conditions of their country.
Requirements:
General knowledge of agri-food sector, environmental impacts of agriculture, independence, reliability.
Outcomes:
