The steering committee is an unincorporated coalition and each of the members contribute their expertise, connections, and resources in collaboration to collectively develop the week-long celebration as well as make programmatic and funding decisions.Additionally, various program partners and sponsors are contributing through venue hosting, in-kind contributions, and monetary support. The Global Breadfruit Summit portion of the celebration aims to amplify the knowledge, priorities, and lived experience of breadfruit practitioners, researchers, and educators worldwide.
