The ANU Agrifood Innovation Institute is excited to hold Seeds of Acceleration, a one-of-a-kind transdisciplinary workshop.
To continue to produce food sustainably and profitably, in the volume required to feed the world, the agrifood sector needs to embrace rapid innovation in the way we grow that food.
This is a unique forum which will bring together insights from the COVID-19 vaccine development and apply them to crop breeding.
Led by AFII Deputy Director, Associate Professor Alison Bentley, the event will bring together stakeholders with broad expertise in vaccine development, the use of platform technologies, open data, enabling policy and regulation, and prioritisation of future trait targets.
The event aims to identify how the new knowledge and processes supporting rapid COVID-19 vaccine development can provide a blueprint for focusing international cooperation towards the accelerated breeding of future-ready crops.
Your participation is welcomed as we seek to harness collective expertise and experience to ensure the ongoing security and resilience of our food systems.
