The Asian American Seed Stewards Lab team was awarded grant funding from Global Affairs' 2024-2025 grants for Advancing Sustainable Development Goals for the project titled: “Developing a Toolkit for Global Education through Hmong Herbs: Community-Engaged Education and Practice Involving Health Equity, Food Justice, and Cultural Diversity.”
This is a series to share stories of students relating to Asian American seeds and their perspectives and backgrounds. It is also to explore student interests and aspirations in pursuing work in current and changing agricultural landscapes and social and cultural environments. Emily generously shared her experiences that has shaped where she is today, and the meaning of this connective work for her, in this mix of a Q&A and feature article.

Check out the SCOPE Celtuce Breeding Poster! The poster summarizes the project's background, key breeding goals, materials and methods, participating farm locations, and results.
As we get ready to distribute F2 generation celtuce seeds to growers, a collaborative meeting was held over zoom to better connect our researchers and growers beyond just google forms and emails.
The Public Impact Research Initiative (PIRI) was established through Public Scholarship and Engagement (PSE) to recognize and support research that is cogenerated with community partners, is of mutual benefit, and has a positive public impact.
We are pleased to introduce an interdisciplinary seminar, “Seed Saving and Cultural Memory Banking Community-Engaged Participatory Plant Breeding with the API Farmers in CA” to the community.
Please join our symposium, "Seed to Asian Heritage: Rediscovering Historical Roots, Food Diversity, and Environmental Sustainability through Local Farm in Davis" on May 6th!
The API Farmers Project team received an award from the UC Davis Global Affairs. Through annual grants, faculty in the College of Letters and Science provide students with global learning experiences and work toward goals such as ending hunger and eradicating inequalities. The selected projects of 2021 feature collaborations across UC Davis and institutions worldwide, fostering partnerships that will advance groundbreaking research.
Campus Global Theme mini-grants, ranging from $250 - $1,000, provide an excellent opportunity for faculty, staff and students across UC Davis to get involved in discussing and addressing an important global issue, while providing student groups and departments with funding, logistical support, and visibility.
