[Workshop 12] MASC: Arabidopsis for SDGs/4th Decadal Vision

The theme of this year's ICAR is Arabidopsis for Sustainable Development Goals. Participants will discuss how research in Arabidopsis can be leveraged to help achieve some of the United Nation's 17 SDGs, especially in the area of zero hunger, climate action, and life on land. In addition, participants will discuss how Arabidopsis research can help address important plant science questions (such as those posed in Armstrong et al., 2023; doi. 10.1111/nph.18771) and the kinds of international projects that might be considered as part of a 4th decadal vision for Arabidopsis research, following on from successful collaborations that have arisen from 3 decades of coordinated efforts.
