WEBINAR | Modern Tree Breeding – A quiet achiever with huge upside

Timber is the ultimate renewable and forestry is a net carbon positive sector. Growth of the sector is critical to meeting the climate challenge and is dependent on increased investment in transformational research and innovation that is rapidly adopted by the sector. Australian tree breeding programs have a strong reputation for innovation, adoption and value creation and are a major driver of the sector value and competitiveness.
