Horticulture Innovation Lab
The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Horticulture's global research network advances fruit and vegetable innovations, empowering smallholder farmers to earn more income while better nourishing their communities.
Also known as the Horticulture Innovation Lab, the program's research projects span the value chain of fruit and vegetable production, from seed systems to postharvest practices and marketing. Improving livelihoods — through higher profits and diversified, nutrient-rich diets — is a primary goal of the program’s research efforts around the world. The program’s work is guided by ensuring gender equity, improving information access, targeting innovative technologies and increasing research capacity.
The Horticulture Innovation Lab is based at the University of California, Davis, with funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development as part of Feed the Future, the U.S. government's global hunger and food security initiative.
