Tonnes of sugar are lost every year as post-harvest losses. We're here to change that.
Sugarcane is one of India’s most important crops. It is cultivated on 5 million hectares of land, making India the second-largest producer of the crop which contributes to 6% of the national GDP and forms the livelihood for 20 million people across the country.
This industry is in peril, however. Post-harvest sucrose deterioration is responsible for losses worth millions of rupees. Following its harvest, enzymatic activity reduces sugar recovery rates by upto 10%!
Our solution mitigates this problem.
We’re SugarGain, and we’re making the world a sweeter place, quite literally!
Design caption goes here.
We aim to target invertase present in the sugarcane stem - the enzyme responsible for cleaving sucrose into its constituents. Our project is structured into three major modules: a fructose regulated anti-invertase construct, an atmospherically-regulated kill switch, and a novel polymer inoculant.
Click here to know more about our project design.
Safety caption goes here.
Biosafety is a cruicial aspect of our project, especially so when our chassis is so closely involved with food products.
Throughout our project design we have tried to be cognizant about identifying strategies for robust biosafety. To ensure the highest possible levels of safety, we have developed a three-tier failsafe meachanism after taking into consideration the various use cases of our chassis.
Click here to read more our biosafety approach.
Human-centered design.
Summarize our human practices approach. Write about how we conducted detailed discussions with stakeholders at every step. Also write about how we changed various aspects of the design based on feedback, and how our product solves different issues for different belts across India and the world.
From the iGEM docs: explore issues relating (but not limited) to the ethics, safety, security, and sustainability of your project, and to show how this exploration feeds back into your project purpose, design, and execution.
Collaborating for the win.
Not sure what goes here but removing this makes it too empty. Maybe an important highlight from the text itself?
Summarize our collaborations, including various surveys and the language project. Also summarize some conclusions from surveys we created and the impact of the language project (and maybe a little bit about future scope).
From the iGEM docs: Sharing and collaboration are core values of iGEM. We encourage you to reach out and work with other teams on difficult problems that you can more easily solve together.
Contribution Headline
Headline too cringey? Questionable color choice? Apparently orange is the color of communication. It's a really hard color to work with, though. Increasing saturation any more hurts my eyes, reducing it saturation makes orange lose its effect and reducing brightness makes it dull. Btw, scroll up for an inverted Indian flag.
Anyway, write about the webinar here. Maybe an intro about why science communication is necessary, specially keeping the current situation in mind. Also write about Abhighyan insta posts? Is that sci-comn or public engagement? I'll just call the button Communication for now.
