GLOBAL CHALLENGE 2050 TO FEED 10 BILLION (2057)
ASU – Will to Change Power to Create
WHAT WE DO TODAY?ADVANCED RESEARCH IN OUR LABS AND
FIELDS
• BUSINES-RESEARCH – EDUCATIONS
• ADVANCED LABS
• TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
• BUSINESS INCUBATOR
• Developing competitive technologies for plant and animal husbandry;
• Genetics, biotechnology and selection for plants and animals;
• Modern technologies and products for food quality and safety;
• Sustainable development of renewable energy i.e.biomass based.

ARE WE GOOD FOR FEEDING 10 billion?
WE ARE ALL TOGETHER 505 MLN PEOPLE IN EU WE WASTE 100 MLN. TONNES FOR 130 BLN. EUR
a) EN 10 YEARS? b)EN 100 YEARS? c) A YEAR?
WHAT‘S THE SOLUTION? EATING INSECTS?
Or betterSTOP WASTING AND LOOK FOR
INNOVATIONS
WHAT WE DO TOGETHER?VERTICAL HYDROPONIC FODDER TECHNOLOGY
(EIP PROJECT)
Tester la faisabilité technique du transfert de technologie dans les conditions climatiques du Mali
Démontrer aux opérateurs économiques les avantages comparatifs de la technologie et créer la demande
Générer de la connaissance pour dupliquer la technologie à grande échelle

WHAT WE DO TO REDUCE WATER SHORTAGE IN SOIL?
REGULATED DRAINAGE SYSTEM (EIP Project)
WHAT WE DO FROM WASTE?Granular fertilisers from waste
by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Juozas Pekarskas
While applying this developedtechnology, waste biomassprocessed by fly larvae can beturned to high quality compostand these composts can beturned to granular fertilizers. Itis the very first time when thistype of technologies related tothe use of larvae of blacksoldier flies are applied.

WHAT WE DO TO REDUCE YIELD LOSSES?
Harvest losses preventerby Prof. dr. D. Steponavičius, Assoc. prof. dr. E. Zaleckas
Developed product with specific
properties, which is spread on rape that
before harvesting. It "lockes" in a
certain way the rape seed pods and does
not allow it to open easily. This
technology reduces spontaneous
sprouting of rape seeds and harvest
losses by harvesting.
CAPACITIES AND SKILLS NEEDED TO MOVE FORWARD• Willigness and capacity to learn and create
permanently• Friendly with new technologies and ICT• Solution finder• Communicative, Attracting people,
Leadership• Understading economic costs and benefits,
market, managing sales
EIP: CENTER OF KNOWLEDGE ACCUMULATION, TRANSFER, DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGIES AND THEIR
DEMONSTRATION "GATE OF INNOVATION"
The system will make the optimization of human resources and time costs in implementing the innovation
projects over the Innovation Support Service. It will provide an easier and faster flow of ideas from research
testing in experimental farms for practical needs.
EIP: CENTER OF KNOWLEDGE ACCUMULATION, TRANSFER, DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGIES AND THEIR
DEMONSTRATION "GATE OF INNOVATION"
This organizational type of innovation „Gate of Innovation“ will create an interactive system of cooperation between
farmers, advisers, researches and experimental farms. The system will make the optimization of human resources and
time costs in implementing the innovation projects over the Innovation Support Service.
EIP: CENTER OF KNOWLEDGE ACCUMULATION, TRANSFER, DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGIES AND THEIR
DEMONSTRATION "GATE OF INNOVATION"
The purpose of the project partners is to ensure smooth operation of agricultural innovation, effective performance of the
farm-advisor-science chain and to create a network of experimental and demonstration farms.
▶ Standardization and digitization of administrativeactions in agriculture;
▶ Information search system for the accumulation ofresults from applied research.
Both suggestions are strongly connected to EU Commission's Open Data Strategy(2011), Directive 2003/98/EC on the re-use of public sector information and finally the century ideasfor Lithuania - reducing bureaucracy by digitizing public services till 2025.
