A Tomato Zine for the General Public

April 30, 2026

The Tomato Organic Management and Improvement (TOMI) project, led by Horticulture and Landscape Architecture Prof. Dr. Lori Hoagland, collaborated with the Culinary Breeding Network to create a Tomato Zine for the general public. The zine highlights the crop’s history, introduces basic botanical traits and culinary attributes, and explains how the TOMI project is working to help tomato growers and consumers continue to enjoy the fruits of this important crop. The broad goal of these zines is to help make science accessible, practical, and enjoyable for everyone. Here is a direct link to the new Tomato Zine.
