🆕 Dr Cathrina Edwards Edwards_lab shares her expertise in the The Telegraph 📰 “What I would recommend paying most attention to is the fibre content. Fibre is really important for gut and metabolic health, but most people do not get enough." buff.ly/3V8nVQs

Does zero tillage lead to deeper rooting in wheat? Deep soil coring followed by X-ray imaging to find out at UoNBiosciences Hounsfield Facility today Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research


Finished taking deep cores from two more fields. Looking forward to X-ray CT image analysis to explore the effects of cultivation practices on soil structure and root architecture.

Dr Simon Griffiths Delivering Sustainable Wheat featured in last week’s The Telegraph discussion article 🌾: “We need to get more out of the land we grow without damaging the environment.” Read more 🗞️: telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…

#CIMMYT received up to $21.1M from Novo Nordisk Foundation for the #CropSustaiN initiative. This project aims to develop wheat varieties that reduce agriculture's #nitrogen footprint using biological nitrification inhibition (BNI)🌱🌍 #Sustainability bit.ly/4aN78Y6

#GreatNews It’s official! #Today we are announcing #CropSustaiN! It’s a pioneering initiative designed to reduce the #nitrogen footprint of #wheat cultivation. Thanks to the generous support from Novo Nordisk Foundation. #ExcellenceInScience #CIMMYT2030Strategy bit.ly/4aN78Y6
