Do you have data about symbionts or HGT? Do you feel that approach through ecology is better than through GMO or CRISPR? Do you think that its multiple functions (multifunctionality) should be compensated better? You may find yourself placing this call to action (CTA) somewhere on your website. You may also download a form describing origin of your idea by citations and data and plan with call for participation in your project. Expected project topics should balance spontaneous HGT, CRISPR or GMO, and traditional chemistry (fertilisers, pesticides, or drugs).
Call for Projects: Empowering Entrepreneurial Ecosystems for Sustainable Agriculture
We invite you to put your data to a project proposal that harness any new technology using genetic diversity, roles of fungi, horizontal gene transfer (HGT), and symbionts in nutrient fixation and uptake, leading to higher yields and increased resilience. This call aims to reach guaranteed return on investment (ROI) through complementarity of entrepreneurial ecosystems.
