Culinary Breeding Network: VARIETY SHOWCASE 2016

The CULINARY BREEDING NETWORK invites you to play a vital role in improving the quality of what farmers grow and how it tastes.

The VARIETY SHOWCASE is an interactive mixer to build community and increase collaboration between plant breeders, farmers and eaters.

This 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.
