Seeds that Fit the Farm: Integrating Farmer Innovation into Seed Systems
Seed isn't just the beginning of your next harvest, it's an essential tool on any organic farm - giving you an edge when conditions are tough, the weather is chaotic, and you can't fall back on chemical inputs to quickly solve an issue mid-season. Yet, organic variety development lags far behind mainstream plant breeding. Join the Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security to explore why that is, and what we can do about it. See how farmers are breeding and adapting seeds to fit their farms, learn how the seed regulations influence organic variety development, and find out about new seed policies that could encourage farmer innovation and support seed diversity for all kinds of farms.
