What we do
How can we help farmers grow more food using less resources? How do we make our agricultural systems more resistant to climate change? Can agricultural waste be processed into valuable, renewable products? These are some of the research questions being investigated by the Centre for Agriculture and the Bioeconomy.
Our programs
Our research programs bring together an inclusive, multidisciplinary and outwardly-focused group of researchers with the capacity to deliver real-world solutions for our planet, our partners and our community.
Synthetic Biology
We apply engineering principles and genetic technologies to biological engineering.
Read moreSustainable agrifood systems
Integrated study on soils, plants and the atmosphere for profitable and sustainable food production.
Read moreFuture leaders
Our future leaders program provides collaborative support and opportunities for early and mid-career researchers in agriculture and the bioeconomy.
Read moreFood Innovation
We find solutions to healthy and sustainable eating through novel food technologies or dietary shifts to traditional foods (such as pulses).
Read moreGenetics and Molecular Biology
We sequence, edit and study the genomes and epigenomes of a wide range of plant species.
Read moreBioresources, Bioprocessing and Biorefining
We develop agricultural commodities, by-products and waste streams into value-added products.
