Culinary Breeding Network’s Variety Showcase Oahu
The NOVIC team and the Culinary Breeding Network invite you to play a vital role in improving the quality of what farmers grow and how it tastes. Join us in Oahu, Hawaii, on March 13th for a special Variety Showcase. This is an interactive mixer to build community and increase collaboration between plant breeders, farmers and eaters. The event provides attendees the unique experience to taste new and in-development vegetable and grain cultivars, share opinions and break down the walls between eaters and breeders.
