CAAS and MU Establish Joint Centre for the Prevention and Management of Exotic Invasive Species

Biosafety measures and related crop protection technologies and risk analysis and prevention of invasive species, which is the core work of the Joint Center, will give more impetus for sustainable agriculture. He also suggested closer cooperation between CAAS and MU in research on barley, animal health and environmental technologies, based on the advantages and interest of both sides.
Prof. Morrison shared with CAAS the strategic orientation of MU’s research priorities including prevention and control of plant pest and diseases, animal health and environmental sciences and bio-environment rehabilitation. He added that the Joint Center is part of Murdoch’s international program for biosafety research and expects high from the collaboration.
