🌳#Ethiopia 🇪🇹 just broke an unbe-leaf-able record.🌳

In 12 hours, the country planted 350 million trees to counter the effects of #ClimateChange and #deforestation.

They aim to plant 4 billion indigenous trees in total. We are rooting for them—are you?

Wonderful to see the talent and leadership that FABI-TPCP produces in action.

@FutureAfricaUP gives @Fabiteam1
the platform to grow and build our capacity and collaborations.

Collaboration and cooperation = success!

Exciting start to our annual #tpcp2019 symposium with the #cthb key note speaker @DianaSix1 hosted at the amazing new @FutureAfricaUP campus

Thank you to @SanushkaNaidoo @martinkemler and @bernardslippers to get me to a place where I have interesting results to show and I'm actually excited about my own research! #TPCP2019 @Fabiteam1 @FutureAfricaUP

Recognising Mike Wingfield's contribution to FABI, a library has been opened in his name. #longliveknowledge @Fabiteam1 @CTHB_Tree #TPCP2019

[Darryl Herron @LTranslat3d]

@ReneHJHeim is the first speaker on day 2 of #TPCP2019

Our current methods of growing crops cannot sustain the human population into the future. We need to adopt more advanced tech to grow, monitor and sustainably manage our crops (forestry and agriculture)

@Fabiteam1

[Darryl Herron @LTranslat3d]

@JannekeAylward delivers her speed talk about a very important pathogen of Eucalyptus, Teratosphaeria destructans

Is T. destructans sexual reproducing? What does that mean for our Eucalyptus growers across South Africa?

[Darryl Herron @LTranslat3d]

It's good to see Simon Lawson from Australia again, and to listen to him share his ideas on creating a biosecurity surveillance strategy.

⁦@DianaSix1⁩ on the stoichiometry or bark beetle - fungus symbiosis. Not only important to understand the biology & evolution of the system, but also how insects will respond to climate change & pollution #CTHB2019 #TPCP2019

[Darryl Herron @LTranslat3d]

@DarrynWhisgary, who I only get to see once a year, is up next and talking about harnessing bacteria so that we can grow food (from legumes) in poor environments
