Faculty of

AGRO-INDUSTRY Tanaboon Sajjaanantakul, Dean, Faculty of Agro-industry

Bangkok, Thailand

Food Science Education in Thailand

KU has first started the food education curriculum in Thailand

1964 B.S. in Food Science

1969 Master of Science in Food Science

Start the faculty of Agro-industry, KU in 1980

1989 Ph.D. degree in Food Science

1990 B.S. Food Engineering

Food Science Education in Thailand

Faculty of Agro-industry (1980) constituted Department of

Food Science and Technology, Biotechnology, Product Development Packaging and Materials Technology Textile Science Agro-Industrial Technology Management

Since 1980 Food science education program

And food-related program was

adopted and offered by major Government

University in Thailand

Now more than 70 Universities offered in B.S. degree related to Food Science and Technology program

plus 40 curriculum in Biotechnology program

Plus 10 curriculum in Product development, Agro-industry technology, Packaging Technology, etc.

Food Science Education in Thailand

Food education program in Thai universities are offered under various name, e.g., Food Science and Technology, Food Technology Food Engineering, Agro-industrial Technology, Product Development, Biotechnology Food Packaging and Postharvest Technology, Packaging and Materials Technology Food and Nutrition Nutrition Food safety These are most involve with “food processing” part in the food value chain

Food Science Education in Thailand

Food-related education program that involves “primary production” and “Distribution” in food value chain are, e.g.,

Agriculture, Plant and animal science, Horticulture, Crop science, Animal husbandry

Agriculture and Natural resources Fishery, Aqua culture Food security, Food supply chain, Food logistic Agro-industry technology management Food business, Agri-food business

Program in Home economics, Culinary, Dietician, Cooking school which direct toward consumer are excluded from above discussion

Food Science Education in Thailand

Number of higher education (University) is 151 institution

Government (supported) University is 80 institution

Private University is 71 institution

Food Science Education in Thailand

For Government supported University 80, They are grouped as

Autonomous university 15

Government university 16

Teacher university 40

Polytechnic university 9

> 70 Universities offered in B.S. in Food Science and Technology related program

Education system: 4 years for B.S. with minimum of 120 credits (1 credit = 1h lect or 30-45 h lab /week for 15week/semester or ) Most food curriculum has 135-145 credits 2 years for MS (course + full thesis), 3 years for Ph.D.

Food Science Education in Thailand

Food Science Education in Thailand

Example of B.S. Food Science and Technology at KU

General Education 30 Credits - science and mathematics, social sciences, humanities, language, physical education Specific Requirements 102 Credits - core courses 41, major courses 57, major electives minimum 4 Free Electives 6 Credits Internship or practical training 3 Credits (300 Hours) Total Minimum Requirements 141 Credits

Competency skills for food scientist, KU

Communication skills

Thinking skills

Leadership & Team work Problem solving

Personal attitude

Career success requires: Technical knowledge + Competency skills (Soft skills)

Extra-curriculum activity often incorporate into student college life

Currently B.S. program in food science and agro-industry program produce approximately 3,000 undergraduate students per year Estimation of food scientist at B.S. level is about 30,000 Estimation food scientist at M.S. and Ph.D. level are 2,500 For the 67 million populations of Thailand The current estimation is 1 food scientist per 2,060 people

Most Research Funding Agency (e.g., TRF, NRC, NSTDA,ARDA..) to University (MS, PhD) require industry involvement at the early stage of proposal submission Thailand Research Fund support MS and PhD research scholarship on the basis that the research problem must come from food industry or there is a matching fund or support from food industry Food industry approach University directly for proprietary research project Jointed MS or PhD research with International University are common practice (with Japan, Taiwan, ASEAN, EU, US, etc..)

Research collaboration with Private sector

Research & technology transfer

Research and technology transfer are done in the form of various industrial training and technology licensing, e.g., SME pre-HACCP training Food security and Food safety training Kasetsart University provided food innovation research service (KU FIRST) and has initiated food science park for technology incubation

Human Resource development cooperation project

Proposed cooperation project 1: MAFF Food Research HRD program for faculty and graduate student exchange

MAFF Japanese Food Industry

ASEAN University

Japanese University

Jointed research

Research problem from MAFF-Food Industry

Provide support for Japanese or ASEAN staff to research visit (3-6 months) to Japan or to partner University

Human Resource development cooperation project

Proposed cooperation project 2: MAFF Food experts seminar/training program provides update knowledge for ASEAN University

MAFF Japanese

Food Industry

ASEAN University

Topic from MAFF-Food Industry-ASEAN University

Provide support for University professor and food industry experts to offer technical seminar or technology transfer to ASEAN country

Human Resource development cooperation project

Proposed cooperation project 3: International talented student scholarship program, Japanese-ASEAN University scholarship for MS, PhD level,

MAFF Japanese Food Industry

Scholarship to ASEAN student

Japanese University

Dual degree (or sandwich research program) with ASEAN University

Jointed research

Research problem can be from MAFF-Food Industry

Funding support for travel, housing, stipend to ASEAN student for doing research at Japanese University (tuition fee waiver?)

Japanese University with ASEAN partnership applied for grant

Human Resource development cooperation project

Proposed cooperation project 4: ASEAN-linked degree program, Japanese-ASEAN University scholarship at MS level,

MAFF Japanese Food Industry

ASEAN University

ASEAN University

At least 2 ASEAN country form a jointed degree, 1st MS year course work for 2 semesters at 2 University (country), 2nd MS year do a research project at a selected University

Student apply to MAFF ASEAN linked program

Human Resource development cooperation project

Other skill development activity, i.e., graduate student international field trip with student presentation

MAFF Japanese Food Industry

ASEAN University

ASEAN University

Japanese University

University and food industry field trip (2 weeks) for International experience and network

Can be from more than 1 University

Conclusion

Food Science education in Thailand covers all aspects of food science, technology and engineering. Food related discipline in higher education include primary production of food, food processing, food value chain to distribution of food products. Food security and food safety together with innovative technology, functional and health food are key research area

Human resource development in food-related area offer by MAFF-Japan food industry collaboration to ASEAN University can be done in different models, e.g., food expert training, new technology transfer, MS or Ph.D. research exchange and scholarship in conjunction with Japanese food industry and University
