From 3-5 PM the same day, time as been set aside for two “deeper-dive” demonstrations of informatics tools bridging breeding and agronomy use-cases, from Medha and Lukas.

Participants will be urged to attend these demos, hopefully equipped with some new insights into the architectures for building the data revolution in tropical root crops.
