Organic Dry Pea and Lentil Adaptation to South Carolina for Plant-based Protein Production: NIFA-OREI project update

The recording of this webinar is available on the eOrganic website at https://eorganic.org/node/35519

About the Webinar

Organic plant-based proteins are gaining in popularity. Contrary to consumer perception, organically grown pulse crops have lower protein content. Our long-term goal is to breed dry pea and lentil cultivars suitable for organic production with higher protein content and better adaptation to protein isolation. We will discuss the best cultivars ideal for organic production, nutritional quality, and the market value for organic protein producers and food processors. This project is built on our previous OREI and Good Food Institute funded projects to refine the breeding pipeline to develop protein-biofortified organic dry pea and lentil for plant-based protein applications that will lead to economically rewarding sustainable organic farms.

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.
