Join the Organic Seed Alliance community for an interactive virtual gathering! This event is open to all, including educators, researchers, gardeners, advocates, certifiers, seed growers, and the seed-curious to foster deeper connectivity, learn together and support one another’s work. 

Bringing together farmers, seed stewards, and industry stakeholders in the U.S. and internationally to foster connectivity, nourish one another with fresh perspectives, and co-create a shared vision for the future of the seed movement. These open-sourced educational and networking calls weave intentional connecting exercises, short educational presentations, and practical tips and tricks.

The community open house portion of the call will focus on community discussion and broadening your network. Through guided facilitation and subject-specific breakout rooms, participants will exchange perspectives they might not usually hear, hopefully helping to solve shared challenges and co-create a renewed vision for the seed movement.

Short presentations will connect you with OSA’s Advocacy, Research, Educational, and Outreach initiatives. Along with Q&A, there will be time within each call for participants to connect with the organic seed community and announce their next big event or initiative.

We welcome you to share knowledge, build connections, and collaborate on strengthening organic seed networks. Whether you are looking for practical advice or simply want to feel less isolated in your work, we invite you to log on, share your voice, and help build a stronger seed movement!
