Presentation Transcript
A simplified version Report of the Working Group Research and Development Joint Meeting of the 40th Session of the Intergovernmental Group on Hard Fibres and the 42nd Session of the Intergovernmental Group on Jute, Kenaf and Allied Fibres 22 to 24 October 2019 Beijing. P.R. China Dilip Tambyrajah International Natural Fiber Organization (INFO)
The Research & Development plans could typically cover but not limited to themes such as: Agronomy Processing Markets and product development (Social) Innovation, replication (knowledge transfer processes) and fundamental research in general Policy and Industry Development
A LONG LIST of R&D domains that were identified by the working group are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. fiber producing countries. 6. Creating Science and Technology Networks. South-South- North networks. 7. JACKS fibers and the well being of 9 billion people: S &T development. 8. Retting systems of JACKS fibers 9. Mechanization Issues of JACKS fibers 10. Data Mining 11. Land rehabilitation Developing a roadmap for Bio-refinery for JACKS fibers Impact of Climate Change on JACKS fibers Developing a roadmap for Nano technology for JACKS fibers Impact agricultural policies (Food, Fuel, Feed & Fibers) Making Natural Fiber Composite Technology accessible to
From the long list the following short list identified for short term activities and proposal development 1. Science and Technology Networks. South-South-North networks 2. Developing a roadmap for Bio-refinery for JACKS fibers 3. producing countries Making Natural Fiber Composite Technology accessible to JACKS fiber 4. Developing a roadmap for nano-technology for JACKS fibers 5. Impact of climate change on JACKS fibers
Activities so far: The Working Group on R&D has nor made any pogress to date. Reasons: Lack of Resources Suggestion for coming 2/3 years: Coordination of the WG on R&D by a strong and experirenced member.
