The 16th Australasian Plant Breeding Conference has kicked off and Enza Zaden is playing an important role in sponsoring and joining this extensive event. This year, the conference is bringing ‘Towards 2050’ approach.
All contributors will examine the long-term nature of plant breeding and its essential role in delivering food and prosperity for the predicted global population of nine billion by mid-century – all in the context of decreasing available production area, climate change and demand for new products.
Thushara Abayawickrama (our Senior Onion Breeder ) will share his knowledge of the Challenges of Breeding for Global Markets from "Down Under" and our colleagues Hugh Richardson & Elodie Tanner (Assistant Pumpkin Breeders for New Zealand and Australia) will present the breeding of (organic) pumpkins for the future.
We’re looking forward to sharing knowledge with international and local experts and the industry leaders of tomorrow.
