White Bread, Wheat Breeding and the Beauty of Place

Steve Jones is in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences and Director of the Bread Lab at Washington State University. His research is directed towards improving wheat varieties (and other crops) for traditional and organic systems that incorporate diverse rotations and systems for small and midsized farms. Farmer participation and expertise is utilized and encouraged in research planning and decision making. The goal of this western Washington breeding program is to ensure the long-term environmental and economic health of farming while producing a food crop that is safe and high in nutritional value.
