Vegetable Varieties investigation

Engaging youth in citizen science

Vvi is an integrative hands-on approach to learning about biodiversity, data collection and connecting with community.

How does it work?

Participants interview gardeners about their opinions on vegetable varieties, and submit their findings to an online database. This online database serves as a library of vegetable varieties descriptions and accompanying reviews. The library is used by vegetable gardeners as well as plant breeders and horticulture researchers.
