Center for Agricultural Biotechnology Kasetsart University
Advancement in science and technology takes place rapidly, particularly in the field of biotechnology. It is widely accepted that the future of agriculture is dependent on advancements in biotechnological research and incorporating those advancement into applied agricultural technology. However, Thailand, as a nation, is faced with a critical shortage of highly trained professionals in all sectors from academics to governmental agencies to the private sector. Recognizing this critical need, Thai universities have sought ways to meet the challenge of developing academic excellence in to the field of agricultural biotechnology. In 1999, Kasetsart University’s Faculty of Agriculture together with six other faculties of agricultural sciences and related disciplines, from five universities embarked upon a joint program to revamp their current activities in the field of post-graduate research and education in agricultural biotechnology. To this end, they established a consortium, The Center for Agricultural Biotechnology, to enhance post-graduate study and to promote collaborative research in plant and animal biotechnology and agricultural environment.
