This interdisciplinary discussion explored the social responsibilities of crop breeders, the functional properties of food, and breeding strategies for composition traits (e.g., nutrients) and quality traits (e.g. food processing). Faculty and researchers from West Virginia University, the University of Vermont, and the USDA combined their varied expertise and knowledge to explore sustainable innovations in crop resilience and health properties.
