This month the ARC Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space and the Bioeconomy Science Institute signed a partnership agreement, officially welcoming the Aotearoa New Zealand research group to the consortium.
The partnership will combine both organisations' strengths in controlled environment agriculture and plant breeding (including synthetic biology), and incorporate the Institute's extensive expertise in indigenous knowledge integration to complement P4S' experience in agriculture for remote and extreme environments.
