AGRI-MED, AGRO-FOOD, AGRO-TECH

Improving barley production for maintaining healthy immune system and increasing biofuel productivity.
Our objectives are :
1- Imroving barley production by traditional and biotechnological
methods.
2-Maintaining the healthy immune system through :
a)Preparing natural therapeutic product for clinical use .
b)Preparing functional food.
3- Ethanol production by using differnt varieties of barley.
4-Utilization of residual wastes for production of very valuable compounds
(enzymes, antibiotics, high quality fodder, etc) and environmental safe.

Yes of course, Mostafa,
There is a new FP7 call in the area of Agriculture

 Dear Ferran
 I am very glade to receive your message and I asked
 the  egyption contact point to help me . Could you be
 a partner please?
 Deep thanks

 Mostafa,
 great to hear from you,
 I am Agronomist engineer and i like too much this
 issues.
 The proposal seems coherent, but the problem is to
 fit with some call of
 proposals. I the area of research i think that it
 not convenient place
 to look for, maybe Euro MED programme will the
 correct.
 Ask to the Egyptian national contact point, it will
 provide you a better
 advise,
 BR,
 Ferran

 Barley is a very important grain in the world      
 today. It is very versatile in every way. It has
 been well adapted through its evolution. Now
 however, barely has become well known and so have
 its many uses. Barley, which is of the genus
 Hordeum, is a cereal that belongs to the grass
 family Poaceae. Barley has many different varieties.
 The most common is Hordeum vulgare, which is a
 six-rowed type of barley that has a spike notched on
 opposite sides with three spikelets on each notch.
 At each notch there is a flower or floret that later
 develops into a kernel. 
    
 Barley is very adaptable to various environments.      
 In fact, it is the most adaptable of the cereals.
 Barley is an annual grass that has two growing
 seasons, winter and spring. . Barley also has a very
 good resistance to dry heat compared to other small
 grains. This feature allows it to grow near desert
 areas such as North Africa. Barley contains some
 substances increase immunity in human body.
    
 Barley is widely and is currently a major crop of    
 the temperat and tropical areas. Barley ( Hordeum
 vulgare L.) is the main cereal crop grown in the
 rainfed areas of Egypt . It occupies about 300,000
 feddans ( c . 126000 ha) in the Northwest coast .
 Epanding the agricultural land base to the drier
 arable land in Egypt , ? especially the north . west
 costal region  is becoming a necessity to meet the
 food demands of the growing population . Northwest
 coast . more desert areas , either sandy or
 calcareous, have to be put under cultivation. Such
 soils are poor with respect to their
 physico-bio-chemical properties, soil water ? plant
 relationships as well as their nutritional status .
 Reclamation and land utilization of such soils are
 faced by several difficulties Under such severe
 conditions, desired yield levels are difficult to
 attain. Proper management of these calls for
 specialized approaches for sustainable productivity.
 The practical proper management using organic or
 inorganic chemical amendments.  . The aim of this
 proposal is to improving barley production in the
 North ? west coastal of Egypt by using agronomic
 treatments and other treatments such as organic
 manure  to satisfy  the local demand and export to
 europe. Egyption Bedouins in the north-west coastal
 used to cultivate barley with very primerval
 methods. The forseen impact of the project is to
 improve the methods and the treatments to cultivate
 barley with recent activity and recovery of some
 substances usefull for immunity for human body . The
 direct cntact with those people may elaborate their
 life completely. We are at the National Research
 Center  have various experiences  , beside  our
 agriculture division  we have medicine division and
 another divisions on all branches of science . All
 these divisions could cooperate  with our project to
 make rural development  in the area of northern west
 coast of the mediterranean   located in Egypt . We
 aim to improve barley productivity in this area to
 satisfy  the local demand and export to Europe . We
 may produce a good material for biofuel.
