• Kasetsart University
  A partnership between Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, and Purdue University was formalized in March 2000. Purdue is one of four universities partnering with the Thai institution. Kasetsart aligned with Purdue because of the university's strength in food science research. Thailand aims to enhance its agricultural sector and will look to Purdue for help in areas such as food safety, improvement of food processing and advancing carbohydrate research.
