About
Carinata, a nonfood oilseed brassica is a dedicated feedstock for renewable jet fuel, diesel, and other bioproducts. The Southeast Partnership for Advanced Renewables from Carinata is dedicated to removing the constraints of regional carinata and ensure stable markets for bioproducts.
Our annual Carinata Biomaterials Summit delves into the questions and discussions surrounding the carbon economy and the role of biofuels. Our conference brings together thought leaders from industry, government, and academia to create a dynamic interdisciplinary space of thoughtful, purposeful discussion.
This year we envision the future to better understand our present. What can we be doing now to ensure success in 2050? What challenges do we foresee and how might be begin to adapt to or mitigate them?
Join us as we continue to chart the course towards net-zero emissions & carbon neutral growth with the mighty mustard, carinata.

Dr. Marina Castro works at the National Institute for Agricultural Research (INIA) of Uruguay since 1991. She has a PhD in Crop Science and her research focuses on ecophysiological aspects of winter crops (wheat, barley, canola) and temperate forage grasses, particularly those related to tolerance to abiotic stresses. She is currently the Coordinator for INIA of the Official Genotypes Evaluation Trials in Uruguay, a collaborative agreement with the National Seed Institute (INASE) for the mandatory evaluation of crops and forages genotypes to be commercialized in the country. Since 2014, she has been working with Brassica carinata in a scientific cooperation agreement with UPM BIOFORE and AGRISOMA (up to 2019), and currently with NUSEED, to introduce this new species to the crop rotation in the country in order to increase its sustainability. As a result of this cooperation and another agreement between the Faculty of Agronomy of Universidad de la República and UPM BIOFORE, in 2020 B. carinata reached an area of 10.000 ha in Uruguay, with a genotype evaluated and selected for the local environment.
Dr. Castro got her degree as an Agronomy Engineer from Universidad de la República, Uruguay, and got both her MSc and PhD at Oregon State University, USA.

Alejandro Garcia
Dr Alejandro Garcia joined the National Institute of Ag Research of Uruguay in 2005.
He has worked on several aspects of weed management, but his interest is on understanding how intensification of agroecosystems affects weed populations and their interference on growth and yields of crops. This includes the comprehension of the evolution of herbicide resistance and stress tolerance traits in weeds. He aims to use novel tools available in weed science to study different aspects of weeds and based on that knowledge design environmentally compatible strategies for weed management in agroecosystems. Currently, his research projects focus on addressing critical weed challenges to rain-fed crops production such as weed flora shifts and management of herbicide-resistant weeds by means of applied research. He has been working with B. carinata since 2019 with the main objective of developing herbicide options selective to this crop and through this work facilitating the adoption of this crop in Uruguay.
Dr. Garcia was born and raised in Uruguay and got his PhD at University of California – Davis.
