CBIO webinar: Plant breeding in food production
There is a lack of good plant protein products for food, but biorefining can be part of the solution. However, this requires a focus on the breeding of the plants used in the process. Join us on 20 September, when Aarhus University Center for Circular Bioeconomy (CBIO) invites you to a webinar on plant breeding in food production.
Oplysninger om arrangementet
Tidspunkt
The increasing need and demand for plant based foods calls for much more focus on plant properties - e.g. protein content and quality - in future plant breeding. Sign up for this webinar and learn more about the future demands to plant breeding, and what the plant breeders are working on.
