Bridging Engineering & Agricultural Innovation
Established in 2019, T2PCEFS integrates engineering, life sciences, and agricultural innovation to address national and global food security. Aligning with UN-SDG-2030, we focus on climate-smart agriculture and circular bioeconomy.
Our tri-institutional collaboration between Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology (TIET), Tel Aviv University (TAU), and Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) creates a unique interdisciplinary synergy for impactful research.
