Welcome!
The ARC Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space (P4S) is using the lens of space to transform the sustainability of food and bioresource production on Earth and beyond.
Our team will be in attendance at the COSPAR Scientific Assembly presenting research spanning space law, agriculture, engineering and plant biology.
