Abstract
For the student research conference I will be presenting a poster on participatory pre-breeding of culturally significant crops, a subject of interest for PhD Candidate Jasmine Hart, who’s research I have been assisting with for several months. I have mainly been working with mung beans, a culturally significant crop that can be a useful tool in sustainable agriculture. One way that this crop (among other minor crops) can be promoted is through the implementation of participatory plant breeding. Through this process, farmers help to breed and select crops, contributing to the knowledge base surrounding resilient minor crops through citizen science.
