Better crops mean better health.
Great to welcome Brenda & Georgia from the @johninnescentre.bsky.social to Parliament. We discussed their work improving the nutritional quality of crops here in the U.K. & around the world. Proud to represent such world class research at Norwich Research Park. 🌱
My third study visit for the ViTAL-D study @quadraminstitute.bsky.social
assessing if we can get the vitamin D we need for health from genetically edited tomatoes developed by the @johninnescentre.bsky.social This involves me eating tomato soup every day for 21 days. 🍅 🥫
THIS WEEK!!! @johninnescentre.bsky.social @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social
New article- we developed a strategy to fortify salads with Vitamin B12 in indoor farms. Sorry, no chronobiology in this one! A wonderful collaboration between @johninnescentre.bsky.social @quadraminstitute.bsky.social @bristolbiosci.bsky.social and LettUs Grow www.nature.com/articles/s42...
