The Fourth Agricultural Revolution: The computational design of microbes for enhanced crops

Join us for our webinar with the Chief Data Officer of Metagen to learn more.

We are entering a fourth agricultural revolution, where we use computers and microbial engineering to grow more productive, nutrient rich, and sustainable crops. Modern techniques like DNA sequencing and computational metagenomics are used to build a picture of soil and plant microbiology, so that useful microbes can be engineered to enhance the properties of plants that grow the world’s food.

Metagen is a leader in microbial soil technologies, building biological products like soil prebiotics using advanced bioinformatics, machine learning, and metagenomic sequencing. Their research labs develop complex microbial communities that are untenable with rational human design.

On April 25th, we will hear from Metagen’s Chief Data Officer, Chris Hames, about the specific scientific and engineering hurdles a modern agricultural biotech faces. Join us for our webinar to learn about: 

• Australia’s need for new products to improve soil / plant health and why microbial engineering is a unique and powerful solution. 

• How Metagen uses large scale bioinformatics, machine learning, and microbial databases to engineer living fertilizers. 

• The future of agricultural bioengineering technologies.
