Partnership gives new wheat a healthy future
This details how a new joint venture between the Food Futures Flagship, Limagrain Céréales Ingrédients and the Grains Research and Development Corporation is using gene silencing technology and conventional plant breeding to develop wheat with significant human health benefits. (2 pages)
Hobart, Tas (Hobart laboratories)
CSIRO's Hobart laboratories provide research into sustainable marine resources and industries, climate, weather and ocean prediction, integrated coastal and oceans management as well as health and sustainable energy use.
Science for tomorrow: New developments
This article from Farming Ahead contains four stories on the effects of climate change and ‘sleeper’ weeds, developing gluten free beer, carbon sinks losing the battle and an enzyme to degrade the herbicide, atrazine. (1 page)
SCOPEOmega3Plants_E&E_teaser
CSIRO has found a way to grow plants with healthy omega-3 oils, which are normally only found in fish and microalgae. Learn how we did it in this video from SCOPE, a science TV show for kids produced by Network Ten Australia and CSIRO. (3:00)

The coming Australian food revolution is all about one-stop, guilt-free indulgence, say the researchers who are already hard at work designing it.
Science for tomorrow: New developments
This article from Farming Ahead contains four stories on transforming primary industries under climate change, science by the people, future foods, future grains and genes that control cereal crop flowering. (1 page)
Science for tomorrow: New developments
This article from Farming Ahead contains four stories on biocontrol for the aquatic weed, cabomba, healthy barley foods, Helicoverpa genome sequencing and better wheat varieties. (1 page)
64Flagships Corp MedRelTsr
The Prime Minister, The Hon John Howard, MP, today launched one of the largest targeted scientific research programs in Australia’s history.
Microencapsulation
This two-page information sheet describes how the Food Futures Flagship and Preventative Health flagship are developing technology to precisely deliver bioactive ingredients to targeted sites in the gastrointestinal tract.
Omega-3 oils in grains
This two-page information sheet is about CSIRO research into developing plants that can produce omega-3 oils, normally only available in fish.
217Salmon CMAR MedRelTsr
A new project led by CSIRO is exploring the genes of farmed Atlantic salmon with a view to breeding fish resistant to an amoeba that attacks their gills.
Fast tracking oil genes
This two-page information sheet is about a new method for assembling gene groups to make better crops.
22Billion Ento MedRelTsr
Grain growers can expect a return of more than twenty dollars for every dollar invested in storage research, according to CSIRO's Joanne Daly.
New wheat promises dual benefits
This two-page Farming Ahead article discusses research on breeding cereal grains that can produce positive human health outcomes. One project, involving researchers in the CSIRO’s Food Futures Flagship, promises major benefits for farmers and consumers.
