We look forward to celebrating with everyone. About the Author:Lane Selman is a Professor of Practice at Oregon State University and a nationally recognized leader in the movement to connect agriculture, flavor, and community. She grew up in Florida, where her childhood was shaped by working with her extensive Sicilian family on their citrus farm. Her connection to the land, her Sicilian roots, and time spent cooking each day with her nonna formed the foundation of her life’s work. In 2012, she founded the Culinary Breeding Network, a community-driven initiative that connects plant breeders, farmers, chefs, and eaters to develop and promote diverse, organic, and flavorful varieties of vegetables, grains, pulses, and fruits. By helping breeders create new varieties, promoting biodiversity and bringing people together, she has reshaped how we grow our food and how we celebrate it. Lane’s work has been featured in The New York Times, Food & Wine, The Wall Street Journal, Civil Eats, Eating Well, and Saveur. She serves as a Food & Culture Board Member of the Anna Tasca Lanza Foundation. Lane lives in Portland, Oregon, and is a dual American-Italian citizen.
