Dr. Darren Drewry, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering, will lead a new project funded by the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI). The new project is titled “Developing Field-Based High-Throughput Phenotyping for Coffee Yield, Physiological Performance and Disease Resistance.”

This project will bring modern high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) techniques to coffee breeding through the integration of hyper-spectral reflectance and gas exchange observations, machine learning and genetics.
