Dr. Shameena, Scientist (Processing), ICAR CPCRI, Kasaragod handled the sessions(theory and practicals.)	12
11	Enterprise Based	Copra dryer – Shell fired copra dryer– ICAR CPCRI technology	Coconut oil production – Cold process method + two Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) unit – ICAR CPCRI technology + coconut based food products- 2 units Turmeric processing unit (procurement of machines completed)	21
12	Enterprise Based	Coconut oil production – Cold process method + two Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) unit – ICAR CPCRI technology + coconut based food products- 2 units Copra dryer – Shell fired copra dryer– ICAR CPCRI technology Coconut oil processing unit (coconut oil and virgin coconut oil)	In this Biomass Dryer we can dry 500 nuts at a time. Coconut shells are burnt as fuel. Within 48-78 Hrs the coconut are converted to copra. For 100 nuts at an average we get 16- 18 Kg of Copra the percentage of oil extracted is more comparable to rotary press but from this unit we get cold pressed oil. Other than Coconut Oil, we can also extract Sesame Oil.	53

21	Integrated Farming System	Waste management using BSF (Black Solidier Fly) biopod technology as demonstrated by Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE).	Waste management in households and IFS units utilizing scientific options is a major objective in Farmer FIRST Programme (FFP). Food and organic waste management in households could be achieved through bio process as demonstrated by Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE) in Pathiyoor. Hence to popularize it and reducing cost of feed among poultry farmers and fish farmers the novel Black Soldier Fly (BSF) biopod technology was introduced.The system consists of 100 litre bucket with lid for collection of kitchen wastes and another small bucket with lid for collection of larvae/pupae of Black Soldier Fly (BSF), which converts waste to high quality protein. The black soldier fly will lay eggs and these larvae grow in the organic waste. The larvae can also be dried and stored as feed or can be directly fed to fish and poultry as supplementary feed after disinfecting.	20
