Agriculture & Food / High-impact foods
Seminar High-impact foods: from applied science, towards an healthy, efficient and productive agro-industry
Thursday 14 of September 2017
The growing agri-food industry in Chile requires that innovation becomes prominent in future decisions at all industry levels. Australia has developed broad and successful experiences based on applied science.
Given this scenario, this Seminar was a good opportunity to combine the Australian and Chilean experience on developing technologies and innovative products for the food sector, sponsored by the Chilean Office of the State of Victoria, Australia, Austrade, and CSIRO, and with the support of the Chilean Government organisations INIA, FIA and Transforma Alimentos from CORFO.
“In the short term, CSIRO Chile can help make a real transfusion of innovation to the Chilean system, seeking to increase the productivity of the country and the sector through the development of functional foods, nutraceuticals, crop varieties that match to the local climate or through contextual intelligence for an early tackle of climate change,” explained the Executive Director of CSIRO Chile, Dr Orlando Jiménez in his initial presentation.
With the presence of the Ambassador of Australia, Mr. Robert Fergusson, the workshop was organized into three blocks primarily guided by the conversation and the presentations of the outstanding team of CSIRO researchers, led by Dr Martin Cole, and the participation and contribution of Natalia Gorroño, Director for Latin America of the Government of Victoria, Australia; Dr. María Teresa Pino of INIA, Dr. Rodrigo Gallardo of FIA, Dr. Francisco Rossier of Transforma Alimentos and researchers of the universities of Monash and Swinburne, Australia.
