This forum will address the resilience of our agricultural and horticultural production systems\, with emphasis on not just the systems themselves\, but also on the resilience of their supporting infrastructure\, science\, and financial systems. \nInvited speakers to identify solutions\, not just problems. We want to see current examples of resilient primary production systems. \nTopics to be covered will include:\n– How do we build resilience to adverse weather events such as Cyclone Gabrielle? \n– How do we build resilience to deal with rapid market change that desires more ecologically and ethically responsible production systems? \n– How can we protect against major seismic or volcanic events? \n– How do we increase agricultural and horticultural processing and export infrastructure security? \n– How do we improve financial resilience to protect from inflation\, rapid interest rate change and exchange rate fluctuation. \n– How do we protect against the loss of agrichemical solutions to managing pests and disease\, and in the face of new incursions from biosecurity breeches? \n– How do we improve labour supply\, including producing a skilled scientific workforce and technical capability? \nTo Register or for more information please contact\nJenny Taylor \nsecretariat@agscience.org.nz \n0274 779821 \nLINK TO FORUM PROGRAMME URL:https://agscience.org.nz/event/2023-nziahs-canterbury-forum-building-resilient-production-systems/ LOCATION:Stewart 1\, Stewart Lecture Theatre\, Lincoln University\, Lincoln\, Ellesmere Junction Rd\, Lincoln\, Canterbury\, 7647\, New Zealand ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://agscience.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/AS-648826306-reslilient-economy-scaled.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Jenny Taylor":MAILTO:jenny@taylored.co.nz GEO:-43.6436854;172.4677741 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Stewart 1 Stewart Lecture Theatre Lincoln University Lincoln Ellesmere Junction Rd Lincoln Canterbury 7647 New Zealand;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Ellesmere Junction Rd:geo:172.4677741,-43.6436854 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20230704T080000 DTEND;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20230706T170000 DTSTAMP:20230618T234155Z CREATED:20220505T225657Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230618T234155Z UID:10000231-1688457600-1688662800@agscience.org.nz SUMMARY:Plant Science Central Conference DESCRIPTION:A joint meeting of: \nThe New Zealand Institute of Agricultural and Horticultural Science (NZIAHS) \n New Zealand Branch of the International Association of Plant Biotechnology (IAPB) \nNew Zealand Society of Plant Biologists (NZSPB) \n  \nTuesday 4th to Thursday 6th July 2023 \nAgHort Lecture Theatre\, Massey University\, Palmerston North\, New Zealand \nKey dates:\nFri 12 May Abstract deadline (Contact secretariat@agscience.org.nz for Abstract template)\nFri 26 May Acceptance of oral and poster papers\nFri  16 June Early registration deadline \nThis is the sixth biennial meeting of three plant science societies.

Since the release of that report\, the issue seems to have ‘gone quiet’\, and there appears to be very little indication of where we might go from here. We are looking to take the next step – how might we start to think about the use of this technology in the future? The forum will cover how and why we might use gene editing technology in plants\, animals and pests. \nFollow this link to view the programme URL:https://agscience.org.nz/event/canterbury-forum-2020/ LOCATION:Stewart 1 & Foyer\, Lincoln University\, Ellesmere Jct Rd\, Lincoln\, Christchurch\, 7647\, New Zealand CATEGORIES:Auckland Section - NZIAHS,Canterbury Section - NZIAHS,Waikato Section - NZIAHS ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://agscience.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/268793304gene-editing-scaled.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Jenny Taylor":MAILTO:jenny@taylored.co.nz END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20191109T080000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20191113T170000 DTSTAMP:20190614T080758Z CREATED:20190614T075458Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190614T080758Z UID:10000219-1573286400-1573664400@agscience.org.nz SUMMARY:IX International Postharvest Symposium DESCRIPTION:For more information follow this Link to the symposium website URL:https://agscience.org.nz/event/ix-international-postharvest-symposium/ LOCATION:Rotorua Events Centre\, Queens Drive\, Rotorua\, 3010\, New Zealand ORGANIZER;CN="Jenny Taylor":MAILTO:jenny@taylored.co.nz END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20191023T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20191023T153000 DTSTAMP:20190910T155122Z CREATED:20190609T154542Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190910T155122Z UID:10000217-1571821200-1571844600@agscience.org.nz SUMMARY:Canterbury Forum DESCRIPTION:Click here to view the programme \nClick here to register URL:https://agscience.org.nz/event/canterbury-forum/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://agscience.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/A-S-233553861-canterbury.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Jenny Taylor":MAILTO:jenny@taylored.co.nz END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20190702T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20190704T150000 DTSTAMP:20190729T160716Z CREATED:20190211T141243Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190729T160716Z UID:10000215-1562061600-1562252400@agscience.org.nz SUMMARY:Plants for a Brighter Future DESCRIPTION:Massey University\,  Tennent Drive\,  Palmerston North\nA joint meeting of the\nThe New Zealand Institute of Agricultural and Horticultural Science (NZIAHS)\nNew Zealand Branch of the International Association of Plant Biotechnologists (IAPB)\nNew Zealand Society of Plant Biologists (NZSPB) \n  \nPlant Science Central conference is a joint meeting of the three societies\, bringing together a diverse range of research areas and delegates from Universities\, Research Institutes and Industry. \n  \nMore information \nConference Organiser:\nJenny Taylor\nsecretariat@agscience.org.nz URL:https://agscience.org.nz/event/plant-science-central-conference/ LOCATION:AgHort Lecture Theatre\, Massey University\, Tennent Drive\, Palmerston North\, 4474\, New Zealand ORGANIZER;CN="Jenny Taylor":MAILTO:jenny@taylored.co.nz END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20190627T160000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20190627T170000 DTSTAMP:20190614T133420Z CREATED:20190614T132815Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190614T133420Z UID:10000220-1561651200-1561654800@agscience.org.nz SUMMARY:Regaining Consumer Trust in a Digital Age DESCRIPTION:Presenter:    Dr John Roche\, Chief Science Adviser\, Ministry for Primary Industries\nJohn was appointed Chief Scientist in June 2018 to provide strategic science advice across MPI.

He is now a Professor with the University of Auckland\, and runs a group at Plant and Food Research. He has twice received New Zealand’s top prize for plant biology (NZSPP\, Roger Slack Award)\, as well as the Chinese Academy of Science President’s International Award.\n\nHe is currently Programme Leader of a project which aims to speed up breeding of perennial plants by using rapid flowering and gene editing. These “New Breeding Technologies (NBTs)” produce new cultivars with large changes in consumer and grower traits. They differ from GM crops in that no new DNA is introduced. World-wide\, national regulatory authorities struggle with how to define (or even measure) these plants; this provides both a barrier to adoption (New Zealand) or an opportunity to be first to market (America and Australia).
