Bioresource engineering applies the principles of engineering and technology to the production, processing, and handling of food and natural fiber. It deals with basic research and biological and engineering applications in such fields as the conservation of natural resources, irrigation and drainage, the quality of surface and groundwater, and land-use planning. Other topics include processing and storage techniques, fundamental studies of the engineering properties of biological materials, the effects of biological waste-systems on the environment, the design and development of machines and buildings, and automation in greenhouse crop-production systems and the food industry. There are no language or residency requirements.
