Just over a week ago, from the 14th to the 16th of June, GreenTech 2022 in Amsterdam showcased a spectacular exhibition at the Rai Convention Center in the city.

Joining the panel hosted by FarmtechSociety were Tisha Livingston (host and President of 80 Acres Farms) facilitated profound insights from Bauke van Lenteren (Rik Zwaan), Hanna Brown (Organifarms), and the crop geneticist, Padraic Flood (InFarm) around various categories within Indoor Farming, Controlled Environment Agriculture, Consumer Behaviour, Robotics, Genetics and the future of innovation within Agriculture.

The plant genome, champion of its own survival, has been the focus of Doreen Ware’s career. Ware has targeted her genetics and computational science skills on plants, especially those that are important for agriculture and that continue to feed the world’s growing human population. Ware uses so-called forward and reverse genetics to dissect specific processes in an effort to understand gene function in plants. In forward genetics, she searches for the genetic basis of phenotypes of specific traits, while in reverse genetics, she tries to figure out what characteristics arise from specific genetic sequences. As for the future, Ware is looking forward to working with the scientists who use the gene-editing tool CRISPR.
