Elsa Petit studies microorganisms that improve soil health. By examining the number and quality of microorganisms of wild grapes compared to cultivated grapes, she can identify agricultural practices that are better for the environment. With PEP, she will develop material for growers to adopt environmentally-friendly agricultural practices and communicate with legislators to create public policy that support growers.
