A 'wellbeing walk' featuring the mycorrhizal fungi of Addenbrookes hospital and Nine Wells nature reserve, imaged by Jen McGaley 🍄🌳 we hope it encourages people to step outside...and think about the world under their feet!

This #Rootstock summer school looks like a great event. I am pleased the talks on nematodes from Sebastian Eves-van den Akker went down well.

Gene editing could accelerate the adoption of regenerative farming by introducing traits better suited to low-input systems, says our Director Giles E D Oldroyd (he/they) 🏳️‍🌈. Learn more from his panel at Groundswell: fwi.co.uk/arable/why-gen… #RegenAg #GeneEditing

Global food demand is set to rise 35%-56% by 2050, but plant diseases can cut yields by 50%. 🔬 Scientists at Crop Science Centre are developing tools & robots to combat such threats. Dr Olaf Kranse will give our final Science on Sundays talk at 2:30pm on plant-parasitic nematodes. 🪱

This is a great image!
