OBSERVATIONS :
Nigeria lost about 40% of her farm produce annually due to :
– Lack of On-the farm Processing,
— Poor storage facilities,
— Infrastructural deficit eg good roads and bridges network,
— Lack of adequate electricity for cooling (ColdChain maintainance )
— Lack of adequate knowledge in Food Processing Technology (Post harvest handling ) . amongst others .
The aforementioned had kept Nigeria import dependent on items we should be exporting. While our teeming youthful population and the unemployed graduates are mere casual factory hands of the Asians involved in Food Processing. Thereby increasing the grinding poverty.

OUR AIM
At WUFAS AGR0Net, we envisioned a Paradigm shift by breaking through stereotypical limitation of traditional paralysis and freeze of the normal classroom education to “RELEVANT” industrial competence, towards Sustainable Food Security and Value Chain Development to make Nigeria the Food basket in Africa and beyond especially in the optics of the emergening AFCFTA and International commodity market through WUFAS AGR0Net’s redefined Agroprenuerial Empowerment in Food Processing Technology enabled through various years of experiences in the Food Industries.

OUR TRAININGS ARE FOCUSED ON THE “YOUTHS” IN POST HARVEST HANDLING (PROCESSING ) OF RAW FOOD MATERIALS INTO MANUFACTURED CONSUMABLES BY THE TEEMING YOUTHFUL POPULATION AND THE UNEMPLOYED GRADUATES THE AIM OF WHICH IS ENSURING “”GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS AND INTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICES” BY DETAILING THE ETHICS OF FOOD PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY SUCH AS : Water Treatment, Packaging, preservation, Quality control concept, Food mgt System, etc.
While we give Improvised Demonstrations of various classes of Foods.

METHODS OF DELIVERY.
We elucidate
informations through foundamentals :
– Lectures
– Flow Chart of Food Processing.
– Improvised Demonstrations.
– Electronic media
— We publish Free online lecture journals in Food Security on our Facebook page ( WUFAS AGRONET), FAO , World Food Programme and UN Global Goals For Sustainable Development (online ).
— We also feature in some news paper publications such as BUSINESS HALLMARK , LEADERSHIP etc.

■– FOOD PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY is the conversion of raw Food materials into the alternative readily consumables. The Technology involves : Hydrolysis – gelatinization, Fermentation, Size reduction (increase in surface area), Homogenization, Prevention against natural elements eg Oxidation, Rancidity etc.
● Food Nutrition and Biochemistry is another application of the Food processing giving Scienctific explanation to the naturalness of Food subsistences.

■ CLASSES OF FOODS.
— Water Treatment / Packaging
— Beverages– Alcoholic and non – alcoholic
— Dairy Products eg Different types of Yoghurt, Cheese, Butter and Sour cream.
— Dry mix eg (Custard powder ).
— Baking and pastries
— Oil extraction , Veg oil, Oil seed .
— Fruits and vegetables
— Cereals Technology (Rice milling Technology )
— Milling Technology ( Roots, Tubers )
— Sugar Technology.
— Distillation (Ethanol )
— Drying Technology etc.
— Carcass Quality Mgt
— Fish, Poultry and Livestock industries.

● LECTURES
The art of Food Processing Technology on the aforementioned are taught by various methods due to degree of complexities and availability of the ( Unit Operations ) equipment involved while IMPROVISED equipment are used for the first 3- three- (not in all cases) classes of Foods .
● Flow Chart are used for the Complex Unit Operations. These are graphic / diagrams representation of movement from a stage to the next indicating applied engineering quantities eg time, temperature etc.
● UNIT OPERATIONS are the application of various Mechanical Engineering used to effect Production / Processing methods such as the Mixing, Fluid flow, Filtration system, Heat transffer, Pasteurization, Cooling, Centrifugation, Distillation column etc.
● WATER TREATMENT – The World Health Organization standard must be adhered to in the Physical, Chemical ,Trace and Toxic Heavy metals and Microbiology.
●QUALITY CONTROL CONCEPT – Behind every processed Foods is a long and highly regulated Quality control process that maintain the processed Foods Integrity and protect consumers health.
● FOOD FORTIFICATION – This is the supplementation of various deficiencies into Processed Foods. Such as Vitamins, Minerals, Flavouring etc.
● PACKAGING – The various functions are :
-Easy Handling, Prevention against shock, Giving exact weight, Prevention against natural elements eg oxygen, Moisture, temperature as well as aesthetics values enhancement etc

●PRESERVATION — Different types of Preservative .methods are:
– Chemical, Heat transffer ( Pasteurization ), Cold Chain, Vacuum, Inert gas etc.

● FOOD MGT. SYSTEM. This include the specifics of NAFDAC (Std. Agency ) such as Maintainance of the aesthetic beauty of the Productiom premises, Food laws enforcement in Processing , Personal Hygiene, Hygienic manufacturing Practices, Cleaning, House keeping, Visitors handling etc.
● RISK ASSESSMENT and management.
– The triangular causative of fire.
– Control.
