A closer look at engineering biology and accelerated breeding

The Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS) hosted two events on July 19 exploring tools and strategies to advance agri-food research and development.

The hybrid seminars, addressing applications for engineering biology and accelerated breeding, were attended by researchers, scientists and representatives of public and private agri-food organizations within and outside Canada.

“At the Global Institute for Food Security we take pride in being a connector and innovation catalyst within the agri-food sector and events like this are one of the ways we can do just that,” GIFS CEO Steve Webb told attendees.

Both engineering biology and accelerated breeding help researchers increase the speed and scale of their work and bring new innovations to market. They also represent new programs and platforms GIFS is building to serve the agri-food sector.
