About the Webinar

Naked barley is a rich source of fiber and nutrients but is not widely consumed due to various challenges. There is also no uniform or standardized way of classifying food barley. In order to address these challenges, research was carried out by using organic winter and spring naked barley that were grown in the Pacific Northwest, Midwest and Northeast for three years and were assessed using ten food quality traits. Oregon State University scientists studied how genetics and environment influence barley composition and functionality. A minimum number of traits that could usefully characterize the overall food functionality of naked barley were also identified. Overall, this study has provided new information on naked barley food quality and it has identified needs for future work to improve food barley as an ongoing effort to encourage people to eat more barley. This presentation will cover the various challenges food barley faces, what constitutes food quality of barley with an emphasis on cooking and baking, and the main takeaways of the research project.

This webinar is part of the NIFA OREI funded project Developing Multi-use Naked Barley for Organic Systems.

FAQs for Learn Calendar Users:

Will a recording be available?

That is entirely up to the host of this webinar/online event. If this is an Extension Foundation hosted event - we will update this calendar listing with a link to the recording usually within 48 hours. Keep in mind, many of the offerings found here in Connect Extension are brought to you by your colleagues across the system. While we encourage them to update their listings with recordings, it is entirely up to them.

How do I know if it is an Extension-hosted event?

Extension Foundation posts publicly our events to two calendars - the Extension Foundation Member Calendar and the Opportunities for Cooperative Extension Calendar.  All other events coming from across Cooperative Extension are posted to the Learn Calendar or to one of the regional calendars. All calendars populate to the same main calendar on Connect Extension. To tell the difference between what events are posted to what calendars easily, you'll see the name of the calendar posted above the title of the event if you scroll to the top.

What if I have trouble accessing this webinar?

Please contact the author of this calendar event. The individual that posted this event will have their username automatically listed at the bottom of the body of their post, right above the social media buttons. When you hover over that name, you are able to send them a private message.
