This document discusses a community science forum focused on farming sustainability and technologies in the Murray Darling Basin region of South Australia. It mentions several websites like Locustmap.com.au and Malleefocus.com.au/data that provide data and tools related to visualizing agricultural landscapes and technologies. The document notes that achieving results does not require rocket science expertise or a NASA-level budget.

Keeping food fresh
In order to keep horticultural produce fresh for longer, members of the supply chain have various post-harvest solutions available to them. However the effectiveness of these technologies is reliant upon an understanding of the physiology of the produce.
The laboratory of Dr Amanda J. Able at the University of Adelaide’s Waite Campus focuses upon gaining this understanding and the development of suitable post-harvest technologies.
Current research includes:
- developing the use of the ethylene action inhibitor, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), as a tool to extend shelf life of banana and determining the impact of 1-MCP on aroma, volatiles and consumer acceptability;
- understanding why capsicum does not ripen when harvested green;
- the effect of Ca and B application (pre- and post-harvest) on the development of grey mould; and;
- the effect of 1-MCP and controlled atmosphere storage on health qualities of apples (such as antioxidant content).
However, there is a real need to link post-harvest technology with an increase in the long term benefits that could be derived from food (especially for human health). The Able laboratory is now seeking to examine the impact of post-harvest technologies on bioactive compounds, their bioavailability and impact on human health.
Yeast Genomics: Medium and Long Term Goals
Wine microbiology, particular the yeast(s) responsible for the conversion of grape juice to wine, has a significant impact on wine composition and thus the quality and saleablilty of wine. Understanding the manner in which yeast genetic constitution influences these processes can shed light on ways a winemaker might be able to manipulate winemaking conditions, and therefore yeast performance. In addition, such knowledge will provide researchers with approaches to isolate or produce strains with superior performance. This presentation outlines the medium and long term goals of research activities in this area.
Wine Microbiology for Fermentation Success and Wine Quality
The microbiology of the winemaking process, which includes inoculated strains
of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the lactic acid bacterium, Oenococcus
oeni, is critical to process efficiency and wine quality. In each case these organisms
are required to complete a core conversion (sugar to ethanol or lactate to malate,
respectively) as well as make desirable sensory contributions. These activities
typically occur under extreme conditions which may include high sugar (osmolarity)
and ethanol content and low pH, temperature and nutrient availability. We have used
mutant screening strategies and functional genomic approaches to identify the basis
of superior yeast performance in the face of these challenges. In addition we have
use adaptive evolution to yield yeast with enhance fermentation reliability based on
increase nitrogen efficiency, fructophilicity or general robustness. In parallel work,
we have isolated and heterologously expressed genes from O. oeni which encode
esterases or glucosidases. Characterisation of these gene products has provided
insights into their roles within the cell as well as potential contribution to wine.
Nutrition in Population and public health
Professor Lynch’s seminar placed the context of nutrition and in particular early life nutrition in an overall population health perspective. He traced some of the evidence for the historical importance of nutrition on improvements in population health in several countries since the 1850s. He then traced the links between the role adult diet plays in various chronic diseases, through the evidence suggesting the developmental origins of adult nutrition, and discussed how the current research focus of his early life nutrition group at UniSA is attempting to characterize diet in children under 3 and examine associations with physiological risk factors such as blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as cognitive functioning at ages 15-16
Food and Satiety - part 2
This FOODplus seminar was held by Drs Natalie Luscombe-Marsh and Tanya Little, both post-doctoral researchers from the School of Medicine. Natalie and Tanya both have an interest in understanding how the gut senses different macronutrients, and the differential effect of different macromolecules from the diet on gut function and satiety. We learnt that fat has a more significant and prolonged appetite-suppressing effect than carbohydrate, and that this effect is also influenced by fat type; that is, properties of different fats, like chain length and degree of saturation, can alter how they affect gastrointestinal function and the release of gut peptides. Natalie’s work focused more on the gastrointestinal sensing of protein, and Natalie presented preliminary results from a trial that is currently underway which aims to better understand the impact of protein on gut function and satiety. There is no doubt that understanding more about how different foods and different food components influence satiety is important when we are trying to determine the potential health benefits of different foods. The methods that were presented by Natalie and Tanya have enormous potential for helping us to understand how the novel food products developed within FOODPlus might influence how long feelings of fullness are maintained after a meal and the release of gut peptides which are critical for the regulation of appetite.

Micronutrient deficiencies affect over half the world’s human population. Biofortification may be an important component of a food system approach to reducing micronutrient malnutrition. Agronomic biofortification involves adding such micronutrients as zinc, iron, selenium and iodine either to the soil at planting or as a foliar spray when food crops are growing.Adding value to South Australian seafood

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
