We had the privilege to organize our first CEA Grower’s Visit at @UGAGriffin. Lots of excellent talks and enthusiasm for team work was impressive and motivating. We look forward to make this an annual event. Cheers to @tropicalandrew who did a great job in organizing this event.
We had a very busy last month with grants and a lot of extension activities at @UGAGriffin. @tropicalandrew talked about lab research and breeding program with members of Georgia Master Gardener Association Annual Conference. @ugahorticulture @ugaCAESresearch @PBGGatUGA
Great experience attending the CEA Summit East with @SudeepPandey18 at the IALR Institute in Danville, VA! 🌿🚜 Represented our CEA breeding lab @CEAlab_UGA and learned about cutting-edge CEA tech. Thanks to Dr. @tropicalandrew for the opportunity! #CEASummitEast #UGAResearch

We are so thankful for every cup of joe and the energy it brings us! But what if all that delicious caffeine was no longer available? This afternoon, Emily Powell tells us the story of Coffee Under Siege and how plant breeders prevented a caffeine crisis!
