International Scientific Symposium Farm Machinery and Processes Management in Sustainable Agriculture – FMPMSA, was organized for the twelve time from 1994. Therefore, there was 30th round anniversary in 2024. A lot changed during those 30 years, not only the symposium. In 2006 we started collaboration with Walloon Agricultural Research Centre CRA-W in Gembloux, Belgium. It allows to extend the international reach of the symposium and to test the new areas of knowledge. New contacts as well as research partnership, with varies international partners, have been established. Throughout the years the symposium was organized not only in Poland but also in Gembloux, Belgium (2008 and 2015) and in Bari, Italy (2022). Since 1994, the understanding of the "sustainable development" concept has significantly broaden and changed, which in the context of agriculture and its processes is reflected in papers presented at subsequent symposia. Detailed information about the presented papers and publications can be found on the website www.up.lublin.pl/fmpmsa. There were over 80 people from 16 countries registered for the symposium. The topics of the papers include issues related to the sustainability of processes and technology in agri-food economy. This publication contains abstracts of papers arranged alphabetically by the name of the first author. Additionally, to make it easier to find interesting topics, a list of keywords has been developed at the end of the book.

Processes, ULS in Lublin, Poland, 2017-11) Adisa, Alex F.; Ola, Ibukun A.; Ajisegiri, Ezekiah S.A.; Adewumi, Babatunde A.; Ismaila, Salami O.; Adekunle, Nurudeen O.; Adigbo, Sunday O.; Department of Agricultural and Bio-resources Engineering, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, NIGERIA; Department of Mechanical Engineering, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, NIGERIA; Institute of Food Security, Environmental Resources and Agricultural Research, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, NIGERIA
The short fall in capacity and quality between locally produced rice for example in developing countries like Nigeria (2.8 million tons) and domestic consumption (5.9 million tons) called for developing a low cost and efficient rice processing machine for improved capacity and quality for sustainable agricultural production. Rice processing plant development was carried out to the point of production at Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria for rural farmers. Out of locally available materials searched for, industrial rubber roller material performed best with coefficient of dehulling, coefficient of wholeness, dehulling efficiency and cleaning efficiency of values 66.00%, 0.77, 0.88 and 97.00% respectively.

Wheat is generally used for a food after converting grain components into different degrees of flour. The perfect milling operation needs to get enough knowledge about kernel mechanical properties and mainly hardness, to estimate correctly its effect on grinding performance. This study determined the influence of wheat hardness on milling energy and efficiency. The results showed great effect of wheat hardness on milling performance. The lowest values of specific energy were recorded in the case of cultivar Katoda. This cultivar is characterised by the lowest value of hardness index. The study indicates that, it is possible to select cultivars with low specific energy and high efficiency during milling, which in effect will cause a reduction of production costs.
