EpiSeedLink PhD Students Interview on ARTE TV
EpiSeedLink PhD Students Featured on ARTE TV
We are delighted to share the contribution of three of our PhD students, Kingsley Onyinye Ibeabuchi, Shreyas Padmanabha Sharma Beedubail, and Martina Curci to the ARTE TV program “Agree to Disagree”, which explored the timely question: “Genetic engineering in organic farming?”.
The program openly discusses about genetic engineering from two points of view and how EpiSeedLink investigates alternative and more sustainable solutions.
One of the topics was Seed Priming and its pivotal role in promoting organic farming, while safeguarding both farmers’ livelihoods and the environment. The discussion focused on biostimulant-based seed priming, a cutting-edge technology designed to boost seed vigor even under abiotic stress conditions. This innovative approach holds great promise for both the seed industry and farmers.
You can watch the full program here:
The recording took place during Martina’s and Shreyas’ secondments to Deutsche Saatveredelung AG (DSV), where they had the chance to reflect on the two contrasting perspectives presented in the debate. Their participation highlighted how EpiSeedLink’s research can offer innovative solutions for more sustainable agriculture.
EpiSeedLink (MSCA-DN-2021) is dedicated to transforming this vision into reality and paving new paths in research for enhancing sustainability.
The complete interview is available on the YouTube channel of the Franco-German broadcaster ARTEde. (www.arte.tv)
