Grow Native! Webinar: Vitis rupestris – The Native Missouri Grape that Saved French Wine

Join Dr. Allison Miller on a journey to meet the native Missouri grape that saved French wine, and other botanical superstars! Wild species have contributed in significant ways to global agriculture, and hold great promise for future agricultural innovation. In this presentation, we will focus first on native Missouri grapevines, and their current and future roles as the roots of viticulture around the world. We will then consider the question – which other wild species might be the progenitors of our future crops? In the interest of developing more diverse, resilient agricultural systems that meet the needs of people and provide important ecosystem services, it is increasingly necessary to broaden the base of species we consider to have actual or potential value for agricultural systems of the future. The goal of this talk is to share a developing strategy to build the requisite foundation, and ultimately the seed resources, required for the diversification of agriculture in the future.
