Circularity and Regeneration as a Single Approach to Sustainable Potato Production

Date: Thursday, April 16, 2026
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Central

Agriculture, potato production included, has long sustained a growing global population. Yet nearly one third of all food produced is still lost or wasted, creating economic burdens for farmers, degrading natural resources, and leaving many communities food insecure. Regenerative agriculture offers an important step forward in the evolution of our food systems. Furthermore, by embedding the idea of circularity, closing loops, reducing waste, and maximizing resource efficiency, we can achieve the social, economic, and environmental outcomes our food systems urgently need. This webinar explores the historical arc of U.S. potato sustainability efforts and examines how circularity and regeneration, when combined into a single integrated approach, can drive a truly sustainable transformation of the potato sector. Participants will gain insight into the lessons learned, the gaps that remain, and the tools, models, and opportunities ahead for building a resilient potato system at scale.

Affordable Phenomics: Expanding Access to Enhancing Genetic Gain in Plant Breeding

Date: Thursday, April 30, 2026
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Central

As plant breeding evolves, the tools used to measure traits and support selection must evolve with it. In this webinar, we will explore how cost-effective, scalable, and interdisciplinary solutions, ranging from UAV-based imaging and portable NIR spectroscopy to open-source software, IoT integration, and 3D-printed hardware, can overcome traditional barriers to adoption. Emphasizing co-design between breeders and engineers, the presentation highlights strategies for balancing affordability with data quality, and showcases real-world examples of low-cost, high-impact phenotyping platforms.
