Summary
The International Symposium on Forage Plant Breeding is the leading forage plant breeding symposium in the Southern Hemisphere. This was the first time that the Symposium was held outside of Latin America and was a satellite meeting of the International Grasslands Congress (2013). The program included invited speakers from the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, China, Chile, Japan, Brazil and the UK, covering a wide range of topics from genetic resources through to genomic selection and the economic evaluation of genetic gain in forage plants.
