A new Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) was formed by the Liechtenstein Group, comprised of experts in sustainable agriculture and global R&D. The SAB will play a crucial role for Liechtenstein Group and especially for RiceTec, helping to advance their collective commitment to innovation and sustainability. The newly formed SAB brings together a diverse group of accomplished professionals, each with a wealth of knowledge, global experience, and passion for science that enhances sustainable agriculture.
