Centre for Novel Agricultural Products

University of York

The Centre for Novel Agricultural Products is a centre of excellence where leading researchers investigate fundamental processes driving biological systems. We then apply these insights to solve some of the most pressing environmental, societal and industrial challenges of the 21st Century. The Centre for Novel Agricultural Products (CNAP) aims to realise the potential of plant, microbial and algal-based renewable resources through gene discovery. From developing sustainable food crops and biofuels to advancing plants for land decontamination, we maximise the value of plants without compromising food security.
