The BioYorkshire programme, which is an innovative public-private partnership between the University of York, Fera Science Ltd and Askham Bryan College, aims to transform the region’s bioeconomy – the sustainable production of renewable resources from land and sea, and their conversion into food, feed, energy and other consumer products.

Professor Ian Graham, of the University of York, said: “This event was held to explore how BioYorkshire and Anglo American can work together to deliver a greener and more prosperous future for the area. It was great to see a good take-up from local businesses to come and hear about what is going on.”
