HVB Workshop: How biotechnology can unlock higher value from UK break crops
Radisson Park Inn, York, North St, York YO1 6JF
Can your research add value to underutilised crops?
High value biorenewables have the potential to increase the diversity of UK agriculture by improving the economic viability of underutilised break crops. Through biotechnological innovations, we can not only create market opportunities for more sustainable products but improve biodiversity and crop resilience in UK farming.
Break crops are grown to break up continuous cereal cropping. The range of current break crops widely grown in the UK is limited, which leads to problems with weed, pest and disease control under current farming methods.
Following on from our UK Grown report, the HVB Network is holding a one day workshop to bring together experts from different areas of the value chain, seeding new collaborations and knowledge transfer, helping to steer funding and policy and identify challenges and opportunities in the field.
The programme is available here.
Deadline to register: 31 March 2023
Join us to:
promote your biotech innovations to stakeholders across the value chain
learn about emerging innovations and research
form new consortia through networking opportunities
share insights on gaps to be addressed by funding or policy at round table discussions
If you are interested in attending this free, one-day, in-person event please register today as places are limited.
