- **Event Name**: Resurrection plants: Models for food security in the era of climate change
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for an inspiring evening with Professor Jill Farrant, one of the world’s leading plant molecular physiologists and a pioneer in the science of resurrection plants — extraordinary species capable of surviving near-total desiccation and returning to life when water arrives again. Her groundbreaking research has positioned South Africa at the forefront of global efforts to develop drought-tolerant crops for a hotter, drier future.
Recently honoured with the 2025 NRF Lifetime Achievement Award, Prof Farrant is internationally recognised for her work on the genetic and physiological mechanisms behind desiccation tolerance in plants. Her research spans resurrection species, orphan crops, soil-regenerating bio-stimulants, and the development of drought-resistant maize and teff, offering promising pathways toward food security on a climate-stressed continent.
With more than 250 scientific publications, Prof Farrant bridges the world of cutting-edge research, conservation, agriculture, and biotechnology.
This talk will take you into the remarkable world of resurrection plants — how they dry, survive for months or years, and then spring back to life — and how unlocking their secrets may help secure the crops of the future. Discover how lessons from nature are being translated into climate-resilient agriculture, cosmeceuticals, and new opportunities for community livelihoods and the bioeconomy.
If you care about food security, climate resilience, African science or simply love the wonders of nature, this is a talk not to be missed.
