We’re grateful to Edible SEATTLE for featuring OSA in the November/December 2010 issue with the story: “Big Ag vs. Small Seed: The Organic Seed Alliance fights the good fight on multiple fronts.” If you live in Seattle, pick up a copy! And for the rest of the world, here’s a PDF version.
Lorene Edwards Forkner writes: Seed is not static. It is a living, natural resource whose integrity is fundamental to a secure food system. That’s an enormous job for a tiny bit of germplasm. It’s the ‘living’ part of the equation which requires careful stewardship. Fortunately, Pacific Northwest farmers, independent regional seed companies, backyard growers, and those of us who eat, have the Organic Seed Alliance (OSA) on our side.
