Biosciences Associate Professor and DCCIT co-director Steve Chivasa secures 2023 STFC Food Network+ IMPACT AWARD.

The STFC Food Network held its annual conference in York, UK on 3-4 July, bringing together researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals to discuss the latest advancements in sustainable food production.

One of the key figures at the event was Dr. Steve Chivasa, a researcher under the STFC Food Network, whose work is focused on developing an innovation for drought protection of crops. Dr. Chivasa's research involves bioprospecting of the soil microbiome, a technique that explores the diverse microbial communities within soil to identify beneficial microbes that can enhance crop resilience.

However, specific details about an innovative drought protection crop solution developed by Dr. Chivasa through the STFC Food Network program are not yet widely available. For more information on this particular innovation, it is recommended to consult academic publications, official STFC Food Network releases, or Dr. Chivasa's research profiles directly.

Professor Kiran Trehan, the University of York Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Partnerships and Engagement, was also present at the conference and presented the award. The STFC Food Network, which focuses on Data Science and Technology, aims to understand consumer behavior, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable primary food production, supply chains, and manufacturing.

The conference provided a valuable platform for discussions on various aspects of food production and sustainability, offering insights into the cutting-edge research being conducted within the STFC Food Network.
