In this talk, Allison Miller reimagines agriculture; improving existing perennial crops and develop new ones to support sustainable and resilient agricultural systems in changing climates Allison Miller is a Principal Investigator and Member at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, a private, nonprofit research organization improving the human condition through plant science. She is a Professor of Biology at Saint Louis U. She is a Research Associate at the Missouri Botanical Garden. Allison’s research program focuses on understanding biology, diversity, and evolution of long-lived (perennial) plants, including woody perennial crops, and wild species of potential agricultural importance. The long-term goals of her work are to improve existing perennial crops and to develop new ones to support sustainable and resilient agricultural systems in changing climates. She earned BS and MS degrees in Botany from Miami U in Oxford, Ohio, and Colorado State U, and holds a PhD in Ecology, Evolution, and Population Biology from Washington U in St. Louis. She completed postdoctoral training at the U of Colorado. Allison lives in St. Louis with her husband and two children. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
