Opportunities in Agri-and Aquaculture Microbiome
Event Details
The event will include agri- and aquaculture panelists discussing on the latest scientific innovations and industry trends in microbiome technologies applicable to the management of soil, water, plant and fish gut microbiome. The event will focus on the challenges and opportunities in commercialising these innovations. Panellists from across industry and research backgrounds will share their experience on the discovery and development of products derived from microbes and their metabolites and insights on how the shift towards more sustainable agricultural and aquaculture practices can create more demand for such products.
