Professor Mani also presented the USDA Program (U.S. Department of Agriculture), which encompasses a broad range of policies and initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable agriculture, ensuring food safety, conserving natural resources, and supporting rural communities. Through scholarships, training, and technology transfer, the USDA Program enhances international cooperation and connects universities, research institutions, farmers, and global businesses. He extended an invitation for HUTECH’s faculty and students to participate in the program—highlighting that in 2024, Lecturer Truong Anh Thy of the Faculty had successfully taken part in the initiative.
