Building local communities through better textile and fiber-based infrastructures emerged as a key theme of the two-day Virtu-Wool online research conference.
The virtual conference, hosted New Zealand research institute AgResearch, served as a lead-in to the international Wool Research Conference which has been postponed until March 2021, at the earliest, because of COVID-19.
Rebecca Burgess, executive director of international membership organisation Fibershed, told the event how she saw wool’s role in a post COVID-19 world.
