In an era of monoculture, the Berry Center acts as a genetic reservoir. By maintaining a diverse collection of berry cultivars, including heirloom varieties that are no longer commercially viable but possess unique genetic traits, the center safeguards biodiversity. This "living library" ensures that genetic material is available for future breeding programs should new diseases or climate shifts threaten mainstream crops.
