Conferences
In collaboration with colleagues from Cornell’s Center for Research on Programmable Plant Systems, graduate student Sohinee Bera presented at the Programmable Plants for a Sustainable Future conference. The conference was part of the Terra Madre Salone Del Gusto, an international food festival and conference dedicated to promoting “good, clean, and fair food.” During the event, held in Turin, Italy, they highlighted several prototypes of programmable plants being developed by CROPPS. In addition, they led two public engagement activities: a roundtable discussion with Slow Food delegates and a survey of the general public, gathering a wide range of social and ethical perspectives on the concept of programmable plants.
