June 30, 2020
10:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. MT / 12:00 p.m. CT / 1:00 p.m. ET | Virtual Webinar

What are the biggest challenges and opportunities over the next 10 to 30 years to optimize productivity and resilience, strengthen economic viability, and decrease the negative environmental impact of our nation’s farms and ranches?

These and other questions will be discussed as part of a virtual listening session that will help shape agricultural research priorities for the next three decades. Help us make sure that organic seed growers are heard by registering today!

Participants will have the opportunity to discuss the biggest challenges and opportunities for optimizing agricultural productivity and resilience, strengthening economic viability, and decreasing the environmental impact of our nation’s farms and ranches. This listening session is co-hosted by the National Center for Appropriate Technology and Organic Seed Alliance in partnership with the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition. Your input will be shared with the USDA to directly influence the department’s Agricultural Innovation Agenda, including objectives for public- and private-sector research and development. We will also help participants submit their own comments directly to USDA. Questions? Contact OSA’s Kiki Hubbard.
