The Global Plant Council, member of the global initiative "AIM for Climate", invites you to join us for an the third webinar of the "Plant Science-Based Solutions for Climate Change" webinar series. This 3rd installment, featuring: Mark Tester (KAUST) and Rob Allen (CSIRO).

Mark Tester's research delves into the intricate molecular processes that enable plants to thrive in less-than-ideal conditions. He is also a pioneer in the development of genetically modified plants exploring innovative solutions to enhance crop resilience in the face of climate change. Mark Tester's research moves from lab to field, and from academia to his own company, as he works to understand the processes that enable plants to thrive in suboptimal conditions, and apply that to improve resilience and sustainability of agriculture.

Rob Allen's work is equally groundbreaking, as he focuses on engineering crop plants to autonomously fix their own nitrogen. This innovative approach could significantly reduce our dependence on synthetic fertilizers, addressing associated environmental concerns related to their production and use.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights from these speakers. Register now to secure your spot and be part of the conversation that is driving sustainable solutions to combat climate change.
