A big thank you as well to Associate Professor Boopen Seetanah for his close collaboration and effective co-chairmanship of the UoM Research Week Organising Committee 2017. Thank you to all the other members of the UoM RWOC 2017 for effective sharing of ideas during the different meetings.
At the end of the day, it was a collective effort to showcase the research done in the agri-food sector, and we have proved once more that we are an effective team at the Faculty of Agriculture with strong support from colleagues from other departments across the University as well.

Thank you once again.

Kind regards
