The unique contributions o the speakers are well appreciated and received by the students. Many students rom almost 40 countries have learnt about conventional plant breedin , advanced plant breedin (especially CRISPR technolo y) and the process and manners to make the new bred species commodified in public. Besides o my positions at IAAS, I am also ser vin to the Society or In Vitro Biolo y (SIVB) as Student Co-chair o Plant Biotechnolo y.

Actually, in past, they learned a lot about waste mana ement in theor y, but lack in actual practice. Now, they want some concrete action about waste mana ement. So, VCP’s team come up with idea: it’s biopore. We choose this because they said that there are many potholes and will cause floodin when the rain comes. Other than that, the product o this biopore can be used as ertilizer and it can be sold. The Taruna Kar ya accept this idea and we both can’t wait to make thar happen. Our Plans : a. Community Development KW T can mana e rossele independently, orm roselle cultivation to post-har vestin , nutritional testin , business le ality processes, product ormulas, and product launchin . b.
