Exciting news from our #CePaCT lab #Fiji. The team completed a RITA bioreactor training led by Dr Maurice Wong (9–12 March). This system can multiply plants up to 10× faster than traditional methods, boosting production of #breadfruit, #taro and #banana. Supported by @MFATNZ

#PacificAgriculture |💧🌱 You've heard of the term "waterproof", but have you heard of "water-smart"? In crops? #CePaCT examined #taro varieties to identify those with the ability to resist #drought. It's not magic, it's genetics. 🤝 @FijiAgriculture @dfat https://t.co/EJbCSdAopy
