Abigail Lazier completed her bachelor’s degree in plant science from Utah State University in 2024 and is now pursuing her master’s degree in plant science. Her research began with a NASA-funded project to characterize dwarf crops for space agriculture, but more broadly applies to space-limited growers here on Earth, including urban and residential gardeners. Her overarching goal is to leverage the innovative power of dwarf crops and controlled environment agriculture to help address food insecurity and make gardening more accessible for everyone.
