The Microgreens Science Library
Open-access microgreens research rewritten in plain language, with full credit and a link to every original study — a free science-communication resource anyone can use.
Type: Science-communication resource · Status: Live and growing · Language: English · Cost: Free · Licence: Original studies under their own open licences, fully attributed
The Microgreens Science Library takes open-access studies and rewrites them in plain language, keeping full credit and a link back to every original paper. It turns dense academic work into something a teacher, grower or curious reader can actually use. Publicly funded research should be readable by the public that funded it, which is the principle behind the EU’s open science policy.
For researchers and Horizon Europe consortia, the Microgreens Science Library is a working example of science communication and public engagement. For schools and adult educators, it is a source of evidence that has already been made accessible.
