392; Phone: +371 29123622<br /><br />Forestry is one of the leading branches of the Latvian economy, based on local timber resources, promoting employment of the local rural population and the stability of the Latvian Lats because of the substantial specific amount of forestry products within the Latvian exports. Therefore research in forestry science and in field of complex use of timber are among the research topics to be supported, though have never received funding proportional to the specific weight of the branch.</p> 393<p>The greatest contribution into the development of scientific and intellectual potential of the branch was provided by the Latvian State Forestry Science Institute âSilavaâ, âInstitute of Wood Chemistryâ, Faculty of Forestry of LAU and âInstitute of Forest and Wood Product Research and Developmentâ also attracting experts from other higher education institutions.</p> 394<p>This chapter includes a summary on the research topics in research of which the full members of the LAAFS Unit of Forestry Sciences have acted as heads of projects or participated in research. Although every institution has its own historically formed thematic specialisation, complex state research programmes are of the highest value as these provide an opportunity to consolidate the scholarly potential and organise closer collaboration.</p> 395<p>From the perspective of practical applicability involvement of production companies of the branch, such as JSC âLatvijas valsts mežiâ, âLatvijas Finierisâ and others are of great importance, with these bringing up study topics and providing financial support for research.</p> 396<p>With a view to future there are prospects of wider involvement of scientists in international programmes and the expected opening of the Forestry Branch Competency Centre that would open up the opportunities for attraction of the EU funding along with that from the leading companies of the branch for the development of research of importance for forestry.</p> 397 398 399<div class="item-separator"></div> 400 </div> 401 <div class="leading leading-1"> 402 403 404 <div class="article-date"> 405 06/14 2012 </div> 406 407 <div class="article-head"> 408 <h2 class="contentheading"> 409 <a href="/index.php/en/units/unit-of-engineering-sciences"> 410 UNIT OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES</a> 411 </h2> 412 413 414 415 416 417 <dl class="article-info"> 418 <!--<dt class="article-info-term">Details</dt>--> 419 420 421 422 423 </dl> 424 425<!-- tampt --> 426<div class="clearfix"></div> 427</div> 428<!-- end --> 429 430<p><img alt="frontimage3" src="/images/frontimage3.jpg" height="191" width="690" /></p> 431<p>Head of the Unit:<br />Prof., Dr. sc.ing.

452; Phone: +371 29250437<br /><br />The Unit of Engineering Sciences involves staff of the Technical Faculty and the Faculty of Field Engineering of the Latvia University of Agriculture (hereinafter â LAU), along with the scientists of the LAU agencies the Research Institute of Agricultural Machinery and the Research Institute of Water and Soil (existed until 30 June 2011). The Unit has been focusing on scientific, academic and technical engineering aspects of the engineering sciences. Within the last decade the Unit has performed an evaluation of the following issues: situation and prospects of local engineering industry; situation of biodiesel fuel production and use; prospects of development of engineering science laboratories; situation in the branch of small water power stations from the perspective of environment and property rights; problems and solutions in the field of preservation of historical values of agriculture and technology; digitisation solutions of melioration cadastre. Also the perspective development of engineering science study programmes was evaluated focusing on their academic provisions and technical supply.</p> 453<p>A wider field of study within the Unit is power industry, in which study has been conducted in several directions. One of the most pursued of these directions is that of the renewable power sources, their procurement and use. Research is performed within the framework of one ESF and four ERDF projects. In several ERDF projects scientists of the Unit participate as co-operation partners together with other scientific institutions. A fundamental and long-term field of study within the framework of international co-operation is research of point and disperse contamination of surface and underground water caused by agricultural activity.</p> 454<p>Within the framework of study projects funded by the Latvian Council of Science the research in the fields of bio-fuel and biological mass technology is continued; sustainable management of water handling systems; use of renewable energy sources for combined heating and development of energy saving technologies, in order to increase the power efficiency of agriculture; adequacy of crop-cultivation technology and development of efficient usage methods and functional models for both conventional and ecological agriculture; research and development of technological systems for the future dairy farms.</p> 455 456 457<div class="item-separator"></div> 458 </div> 459 <div class="leading leading-2"> 460 461 462 <div class="article-date"> 463 06/14 2012 </div> 464 465 <div class="article-head"> 466 <h2 class="contentheading"> 467 <a href="/index.php/en/units/unit-of-food-and-veterinary-medicine-sciences"> 468 UNIT OF FOOD AND VETERINARY MEDICINE SCIENCES </a> 469 </h2> 470 471 472 473 474 475 <dl class="article-info"> 476 <!--<dt class="article-info-term">Details</dt>--> 477 478 479 480 481 </dl> 482 483<!-- tampt --> 484<div class="clearfix"></div> 485</div> 486<!-- end --> 487 488<p><img alt="frontimage4" src="/images/frontimage4.jpg" height="191" width="690" /></p> 489<p>Head of the Unit:<br />Dr. biol.

At the same time it is necessary to reduce production costs and increase production efficiency. Such conditions create demand for scientific research that would provide advice and recommendations both for companies and state officials, and also for professional organisations for ensuring and improving quality.</p> 511<p>The following members of the LAAFS actively engaged in the research work aimed at solution of the stated problems: prof. A. Jemeļjanovs, prof. E. BirÄ£ele, prof. P. Rivža, prof. D. KÄrkliÅa, prof. I. CiproviÄa, et. al.</p> 512<p>It is clear that high quality, safe and healthy raw foodstuffs of animal origin can only be produced from healthy animals, therefore the successful co-operation of the members of LAAFS and scientists from LAU SI âSigraâ and Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of LAU in research of non-communicable animal illnesses must be mentioned.</p> 513<p>The full members of LAAFS have promoted research in food science in several directions related to development of new, healthier products and their technologies and study of food safety conditions. A completely new direction in food research was developed by the honorary doctor of LAAFS Professor Dr. hab. ing. sc. L. Dukaļska who has focused on issues of food packaging and storage, and as the result of her activity, using ERDF funding, a research laboratory dealing with problems of foodstuff packaging was founded. The results have been reported at international congresses and conferences in Korea, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Lithuania, Portugal, France, Canada, and other countries, as well as in conferences in Latvia and the II and III World Congress of Latvian Scientists. The issue of education of scientific staff with the highest scientific qualifications in the branch of food research has become one of the most important over the last decade, and also members of the Unit took part in searching the solutions. Under their supervision more than 10 doctoral theses dealing with important aspects of food research have been defended within the recent decade. The members of Unit actively collaborate with producers and professional associations such as Latvia Central Union of Dairy Farmers, Bakers Association, Packaging Association of Latvia, The Latvian Federation of Food Enterprises, taking part in improving the qualification of food production industry workers and becoming involved in solution of important problems of production. The Unit of Food and Veterinary Medicine Science of LAAFS is one of the largest units of the LAAFS and it is still growing admitting 1-2 new members annually. There are grounds to believe that the importance of the Unitâs work will continue to grow, as the interest of society concerning increase of high quality, safe and healthy food in the total consumption is still growing.</p> 514 515 516<div class="item-separator"></div> 517 </div> 518 <div class="leading leading-3"> 519 520 521 <div class="article-date"> 522 06/14 2012 </div> 523 524 <div class="article-head"> 525 <h2 class="contentheading"> 526 <a href="/index.php/en/units/the-unit-of-agrarian-economics-sciences"> 527 THE UNIT OF AGRARIAN ECONOMICS SCIENCES</a> 528 </h2> 529 530 531 532 533 534 <dl class="article-info"> 535 <!--<dt class="article-info-term">Details</dt>--> 536 537 538 539 540 </dl> 541 542<!-- tampt --> 543<div class="clearfix"></div> 544</div> 545<!-- end --> 546 547<p><img alt="frontimage6" src="/images/frontimage6.jpg" height="191" width="690" /></p> 548<p>Head of the Unit:<br />Prof., Dr. oec.

569; Phone: +371 63023739<br /><br />Among the first 48 academic members of the Latvian Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences (hereinafter â LAAFS) were 9 representatives of the agrarian economics: ArtÅ«rs Boruks, Inesis Feiferis, Harijs KanaviÅÅ¡, Vulfs Kozlinskis, Meikuls Locmers, PÄteris Rivža, VoldemÄrs Strīķis, Aleksandrs Vedļa.</p> 570<p>The Unit of Agrarian Economics was founded in 1994. Currently there are 22 full members, 6 honorary members and 4 foreign members.</p> 571<p>During its first years of operation the Unit focused mainly on study of specific issues of agrarian policy. In co-operation with the experts from the Ministry of Agriculture and German scientists five seminars were held on the five most urgent topics: agrarian policy, agrarian information, agrarian market, development of the rural territories, co-operation in agriculture. There were conclusions drawn and proposals developed that along with other materials from these seminars were of future use for development of complex programmes of agriculture and development of rural territories.</p> 572<p>In 1994 representatives of the Unit along with other members of the LAAFS Presidium developed the project âThe Main Strategic Aims and the Most Important Complex Scientific Problems for Rural Territoriesâ. A concept for the development of the rural territories and the Law on Agriculture were developed.</p> 573<p>Much attention was paid to provision of the scientific instruments for development or rural regions.</p> 574<p>In 1997 the agrarian scientists initiated a complex scholarly project âThe Scientific Basis for the Development of Agriculture in Latviaâ (scientific co-ordinator V. Strīķis). The Project was completed in 2001 with a scientific monograph âThe Scientific Basis of Agriculture in Latviaâ (scientific editors and compilers V. Strīķis and K. Å poÄ£is).</p> 575<p>In the following years there were several projects developed, the implementation of which was led by representatives of the Unit of the Agrarian Economics of LAAFS, e.g. collaborative project âRisk Factors, Their Evaluation and Risk Management in the Latvian Agricultureâ (sc. head P. Rivža), the project âDiversification of the Latvian Agriculture During Integration into the European Unionâ (sc. heads V. Strīķis and K. Å poÄ£is), as well as other projects.</p> 576<p>Every year international conferences and seminars are held. Members of the Unit are especially active in conducting lectures and acting as supervisors of doctoral students.<br />In 2010 the ESF project âAttraction of Human Resources to the Research of Renewable Energy Sourcesâ (sc. head P. Rivža, researchers â members of the Unit A. KalniÅÅ¡ and V. Strīķis, etc.).</p> 577<p>The year 2011 was started with a scientific discussion on the development of the EU Common Agricultural Policy after the year 2013. Activities in this field are still in progress.<br />Members of the Unit of the Agrarian Economics of the LAAFS take active part in diverse organisational and scientific activities corresponding with the current issues in national economy.</p> 578 579 580<div class="item-separator"></div> 581 </div> 582 </div> 583 584 <div class="items-row cols-1 row-0 clearfix"> 585 <div class="item column-1"> 586 587 588 <div class="article-date"> 589 06/14 2012 </div> 590 591 <div class="article-head"> 592 <h2 class="contentheading"> 593 <a href="/index.php/en/units/unit-of-agricultural-sciences"> 594 UNIT OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES </a> 595 </h2> 596 597 598 599 600 601 <dl class="article-info"> 602 <!--<dt class="article-info-term">Details</dt>--> 603 604 605 606 607 </dl> 608 609<!-- tampt --> 610<div class="clearfix"></div> 611</div> 612<!-- end --> 613 614<p><img alt="frontimage1" src="/images/frontimage1.jpg" height="191" width="690" /></p> 615<p>Head of the Unit:<br />Prof., Dr. agr.
