Scientists from around Australia and overseas will gather in Brisbane this week for the Translational Photosynthesis Conference, with the theme “Innovations in Agriculture for Food Security”. 

Chief Investigator of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Translational Photosynthesis and chair of the organising committee, Professor John Evans, says the issue of food security is becoming more pressing around the world. 

The conference will also feature growers, agribusiness owners, regulators and students, to encourage all levels of the agricultural sector to come together to deal with problems facing the world food supply chain.
