30 Centre members from The University of Queensland, Queensland University of Technology, Western Sydney University, and the University of Tasmania had the pleasure of visiting colleagues at the Hermitage Research Facility in Warwick this month. Chief Investigator David Jordan and Associate Investigator Emma Mace put together a thorough agenda including research presentations, field visits, and equipment demonstrations from the Hermitage team. When asked about the trip, attendees

The Centre has hit the ground running in 2023 with plenty of research activity, collaborations, travel, and events underway. I have been particularly enjoying seeing all the action happening in the fields of the Hermitage Research Facility by Chief Investigator David Jordan‘s team. The sorghum trials are coming along and we are thankfully in a very different place to the flood events that were occurring this

After Chairing the Centre’s Advisory Committee (CAC) over the past couple of years it is timely for me to reflect on some of our meeting outcomes. Committee members were invited onto the CAC because of their experience in government, industry, community and indigenous affairs, as well as research and academic leadership. Importantly, we also have welcomed a Centre Early Career Researcher (ECR)

As a tail-end contributor, it’s tempting to act on the advice of Nobel Prize winner André Gide (pronounced Geed, not G’day): “Everything that needs to be said has already been said, but since no one was listening, everything must be said again”. Although probably good counsel, you’ll be happy to read that I’ll try not to do this. With the end of

Climate change is predicted to lead to a net decrease in food production, globally. Tropical zones will move from optimal growing conditions into extreme and prolonged summer temperatures. This will cause drops in productivity in areas where the bulk of malnourished people live. Growing seasons will likely get longer in temperate zones as climate warms but any gains will likely
