Supriya Priyadarsani
Dr Supriya Priyadarsani works as a Scientist (Agricultural Structures & Process Engineering) at Indian Council of Agricultural (ICAR)- National Rice Research Institute, Cuttack, Odisha. The core area of research is milling standardization of different rice varieties which highly influences the head rice recovery of the rice, development of value added products from rice byproducts like bran, husk and straw, estimation of GHG emissions from consumption of different food items. During the past six years of research career, she has worked on development of rice-based fish feed, milling standardization of nearly 100 varieties of paddy as well as estimated the carbon and energy footprint of popularly consumed food items across India. She has conducted trainings on post-harvest techniques for rice byproducts utilization through rice bran oil extraction, rice bran uses for value added products & fish feed and cattle feed pellets, rice husk for fuel balls, incense sticks and rice straw for mushroom production in different rural and tribal areas of Odisha. Her core area of research is now based on agro waste utilization to gain circular economy for the rural farmers of Odisha.

Jaiprakash Bisen
Dr. Jaiprakash Bisen holds a Ph.D. in Agricultural Economics from the ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi, with specialized expertise in commodity outlook modeling and the impact assessment of agricultural technologies. Currently, he serves as a scientist at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute (IASRI), New Delhi, where his research focuses on commodity outlook analysis of key pulses in India and on the socioeconomic, physical, and trade implications of using maize as a raw material for bioethanol production. Before his tenure at IASRI, Dr. Bisen was affiliated with the ICAR-National Rice Research Institute (NRRI) in Cuttack, Odisha, where he spent six years dedicated to studying the socioeconomic conditions of rice farmers, assessing agricultural technology impacts, and advancing methodologies in varietal area estimation. His work at NRRI included refining varietal area assessment techniques using breeder seed statistics and evaluating the adoption and distribution of rice varieties developed by NRRI across rice-producing regions. Dr. Bisen's contributions were instrumental in improving the livelihoods of farmers in Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, and West Bengal through the promotion of high-yielding, climate-resilient rice varieties tailored to these areas.
