A team from the Biotechnology Society of Nepal (BSN), accompanied by Prof. Bhusan Shrestha of MBUST University, Nepal, visited Bhaktapur Multiple Campus to explore opportunities for collaboration in research and development, with a particular focus on mushrooms.

The discussion explored how science and biotechnology could help transform mushrooms from a traditional farm product into a higher-value opportunity in food, health, and the bioeconomy. Areas of interest included improved cultivation, quality production, value addition, waste utilization, and entrepreneurship.

The proposed collaboration brings together academic institutions, a scientific society, and research or industry partners to help develop innovations that can benefit communities.

BSN remains committed to connecting students, researchers, academia, and industry to develop practical solutions, build skills, create rural opportunities, and support sustainable biotechnology enterprises in Nepal.

From research to real products, and from laboratories to livelihoods.
