Join us in person or online for our monthly seminar series, Slice of PI-CASC!

Title: “Ecological traits predict nutritional traits in complex agroforestry systems” with Dr. Ashley McGuigan, USDA Southwest Climate Hub; NREM, UH Mānoa
Description: In complex Pacific Island agroforests, a wider range of ecological functions is associated with a broader spectrum of nutrients in food production systems—meaning that varied plant traits can increase the range of nutrients available in food production systems. This relationship suggests that farmers who cultivate a mix of plant characteristics may enhance both environmental resilience and availability of nutrition. These findings provide valuable insights for farmers, land managers, and policymakers working to sustain productive and resilient food systems.
This will be a hybrid event: guests are encouraged to attend in-person at the Hawaiʻi Institute of Geophysics (HIG) building, room 210, on the UH Mānoa campus. Lunch is provided for the first 25 guests.
