Episode Synopsis

Guest: Huyen PhamHost: Georgia WelshIn this episode of Cultivating the Future, Georgia Welsh sits down with Huyen Pham, a passionate agricultural researcher originally from Vietnam. Now in the third year of her PhD at The University of Western Australia, Huyen shares her journey from studying Agroecology in Japan to investigating how wheat roots interact with soil. Her research focuses on rhizosheath (the soil that clings to wheat roots) and how this trait can improve access to water and nutrients, particularly in acidic soils. By identifying wheat lines with larger rhizosheaths, Huyen hopes to support the development of varieties better adapted to Western Australia’s challenging conditions.Connect with Huyen on LinkedInA hidden advantage beneath the surfaceStay up-to-date with WAARC: Website LinkedIn Facebook X
