Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering කෘෂිකර්මය සහ භෞතික විද්යාව හමුවන තැන Sahitha Karapitiya
Sahitha Karapitiya was selected to present his work at the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) for their Annual International Meeting in 2023. He is the only participant from Sri Lanka. He received his undergraduate degree in Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Peradeniya. The title of his research is "Simulation of the Temperature Profile of Coffee Beans Roasted Under Far-Infrared Radiation" done under the supervision of Professor K. S. P. Amaratunga (Sanath Amaratunga).

තිරසාර කෘෂිකර්මය Sustainable Agriculture with Ayodhya Sovis
Ayodhya Sovis Wickramasooriya is doing her Post Graduuate studies in Agricultural economics at the University of Goettingen, Germany. She is a graduate from the Wayamba University of Sri Lanka and she completed her bachelors in Agriculture Business Management.
Agricultural economics is a branch of economics that focuses on the study of agricultural production, consumption, and distribution of goods and services related to agriculture. The field of agricultural economics is concerned with understanding the complex interactions between farmers, consumers, policymakers, and other stakeholders in the agricultural sector.
